To achieve the repair, we provided 4” asphalt repairs and two coats of seal followed by restriping. This required excavating the failed asphalt and recompacting the subgrade beneath the asphalt paving. Then the hot mix asphalt needed to be placed in two 2” layers, or “lifts,” using 3/4” asphalt on the base lift and ½” medium asphalt on the surface lift. Covering 4,000 + square feet of surface area. This ensures strength, flexibility, and density within and between the asphalt layers, while minimizing air voids which can facilitate water infiltration and lead to premature asphalt failure over time.
Once the subgrade and the lifts had been individually compacted, we provided two coats of Reed and Graham’s OverKote, an asphalt emulsion seal for asphalt which incorporates a latex additive. This step gives a smooth, finished appearance to the asphalt, adds surface resiliency and increases water and dust resistance, extending the operational lifespan of the asphalt. The staff and patrons of the golf course were extremely cooperative and understanding of our schedule and the project went very smoothly.
We’re proud to announce that Poppy Ridge Golf Course has already recommended us for similar projects on the strength of our work here, and we’re excited to be able to demonstrate the quality and efficiency of our work once again as the leading Bay Area Asphalt repair company.
Calvac Paving has been serving the Bay Area since 1972, and we’re proud to bring the same great results to every project we work on.
