Asphalt pavement is a common surface material used for roads, parking lots, and driveways. It is made from a mixture of aggregates, such as sand and gravel, combined with a binder called asphalt cement. This combination creates a durable and flexible surface that can withstand heavy traffic and varying weather conditions. The installation of asphalt pavement involves several steps, including site preparation, laying the asphalt mixture, and compacting it to ensure a smooth finish. Proper maintenance, such as sealing cracks and resurfacing, can extend the lifespan of asphalt pavement, making it a cost-effective choice for many applications.
