Asphalt Pavement Spring Maintenance Checklist

Asphalt pavement can provide many years of service and durability if it is properly maintained. As the weather warms and the snow begins to melt, it is a good idea to walk the surface of your asphalt pavement to examine any changes or problems areas.

Extend the Life of Your Asphalt Pavement With Simple Maintenance Tips

The truth is, to extend the life of your asphalt driveway or asphalt parking lot, the pavement will need maintenance throughout its lifetime. Here are a few recommendations:

• Sealcoating every few years, for example, is a great way to prolong the life of your asphalt and keep it looking its best.
• Monitoring small cracks and crackfilling to prevent cracks from spreading is another small thing you can do every few years to ensure your asphalt lasts for years to come.
• Regularly cleaning your asphalt, or hiring professional sweeping services can help remove dangerous or harmful debris. 

Please download our FREE checklist to help you recognize areas of your asphalt pavement that may need spring maintenance to reduce your potential costs and liabilities.

Taking the time to identify potential problems and repairing asphalt driveways
or parking lots regularly, will help you reduce long term costs.

VIDEO: Asphalt Paving Explained: Driveways, Highways and Even Racetracks

Expanding a raceway and installing new asphalt pavement, specifically designed for kart racing, is no easy feat.

Top speeds mean that the asphalt must be laid with exact precision, with driver safety in mind. 

Exceptional customer service and continual communication is essential to make sure projects stay on time and on budget. Working with an experienced contractor for all projects, from driveways, to highways and even raceways, is a key consideration for your next paving project. 

Take a look at this video that highlights Wolf Paving's work at Badger Raceway in Dousman, Wisconsin.

 

Wolf Paving History at the Track

Did you know that Wolf Paving ties to the Kart Club Race Track date back to the very beginning?

In the early 1950s, brothers Lee and Lowell Wolf raced go-karts around their driveway. When the racing action began to spill out onto the street, they needed a safe and controlled environment for their racing.

Lee purchased 40 acres of land west of Dousman, and he and Lowell graded a kidney-shaped track, that Wolf Construction paved. The track hosted races of 40-50 karts every weekend and as the weekend races grew in popularity, they started the North American Karting Association (NAKA.)

Shortly after, Lee and Lowell began grading a true road course track. They hauled in gravel in the evenings and again, Wolf Construction, now Wolf Paving, managed the paving project.

With the track expansion project completed, Utica Raceway was born. The largest National Races came to this small Wisconsin raceway, featuring weekend races with as many as 450 karts from all over the nation. As the years passed, the original track became what is known today as Badger Raceway.

Fast-forward to today with a completed raceway expansion project, and just like that, the Wolf Paving family found its way back to their roots at the raceway.

Ask your contractor these questions before your paving project:

• What types of asphalt do you provide for clients?

• Do you use custom asphalt mixes and produce those mixes in house?

• What type of experience do you have with my type of project?

• How do you manage water drainage?

• Are you licensed, bonded and insured?

• Do you offer a project warranty?

With more than 75 years of asphalt paving experience, from highways to parking lots and driveways, we are your local source for all of your asphalt paving needs.

BOSCH GCL 2-50 C + GCL 2-50 CG Professional

BOSCH GCL 2-50 C + GCL 2-50 CG Professional – for more fun on construction sites!

Measuring with an inch ruler, a guideline or hand drafted lines is dreadful and not always precise. But this is a thing of the past – thanks to modern laser technology. The up-to-date pro uses a handy combi laser, which is not only easier to use but relieves day-to-day work immensely. And because laser measurements are done in a matter of minutes, if not seconds, there is always enough time for some fun on site.

–
 

For professional craftsmen of any trade the GCL 2-50 CG and the GCL 2-50 C are a real treat! They support you and your work in so many efficient ways. Both lasers are operated with a wireless bluetooth connection in combination with an app – connectivity reaching an impressive distance of up to 50 meters. The GCL 2-50 CG is able to project a green laser line – one which is visible even in the most difficult light situations. The green laser lines are up to four times more visible than the red lines of comparable equipment. By the way: The perfect companion for your combi laser is the RM 3 Professional multifunctional mount, which can also be operated wireless with the app, ensuring flexible positioning and attachment options.

Both combi lasers are ideal for levelling and setting plumb points in areas such as:

• Hanging ceilings
• Levelling drywalls with vertical laser lines
• Electronic installations
• Lighting grids

and many more…
