Before Monarch

This is a project Monarch Paving tackled a little while ago. This road hadn’t been paved or maintained in 30 years! The damage was mostly seen in the improper drainage system. The water should have slid off the asphalt but instead it began to pool and damage the surface. The asphalt was wearing away from underneath causing pieces of the surface to collapse because the subgrade underneath washed away. This caused big pot holes to form. Improper maintenance and neglect also hindered the asphalt’s longevity. (See ehow for great DIY asphalt maintenance tips) The road became intolerable and had to be repaved. This North Vancouver home was in for an afternoon of hot, black, sticky asphalt.

 

After we gave it a new pave job the pavement looked great! We removed the existing asphalt and repaved the entire surface. The road was smooth, black and sexy. The whole exterior of the home looked more updated and polished.

Monarch Paving changes Parking lot at Park Royal

< Asphalt is one of the quickest ways to change the layout of a parking lot. In just a few short hours our team of paving experts changed two parking spaces into a grocery cart carousel at Park Royal in West Vancouver. If you look at the picture, you will notice that there is new asphalt over the existing asphalt. A seamless addition to the existing parking lot, and cost effective too!

 

 

Monarch Paving also removed unwanted planter boxes and paved over where they were. This created more space in the parking lot. Once the asphalt dries, drivers will not be able to feel the difference when passing over the new asphalt. >

 

 

 

< Monarch Paving also removed a concrete curb for Park Royal, paving in our path.

Monarch Paving Presents: Asphalt Speak Part 3

The final instalment! Here at Monarch Paving we hope to educate the north shore. So that Vancouver can speak like a professional paver.

Maintenance Mix – A mixture of asphalt emulsion and mineral aggregate (see Monarch Paving Presents: Asphalt Speak Part 1)  used in relatively small areas to patch holes, depressions, and distressed areas in existing pavements.

Mineral Fillers – Sand and fine particles of mineral material that exhibit specific characteristics that are helpful in the design and construction of asphalt pavements.

Pavement Base – The lower or underlying pavement course atop the subbase or natural earth and under the top or wearing layer.

Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement – Asphalt paving material that has been removed from a road or highway and crushed for reuse or recycling into new pavements.

Recycled Asphalt Mix – A mixture made by processing recycled asphalt pavement into new pavement. This is used in materials such as roofing shingles, glass, foundry sand, and slag can be used in the mix.

That about sums it up Vancouver! Thanks for listening
