A
pulverizer rips up the old asphalt and base. |
 |
A grader
brings the road to the desired grade, making it passable for
temporary traffic. |
 |
Next,
a truck spreads a prescribed amount of cement over the pulverized
road base. |
 |
Hooked up to
a water truck, the pulverizer mixes the cement, water and pulverized
roadway down to a depth of 6 to 10 inches. |
 |
The
base is compacted, cured, and topped with a riding surface,
usually a chip seal or hot-mix asphalt. |
