Some concrete streets need a little more help besides panel replacement, and this involves installing an overlay. After concrete distresses have been identified and repaired, an asphalt paving machine is used to run a “leveling course” over any uneven areas. After which the paver will lay a much thicker, 2” to 3”asphalt mat over the entire street. This method adds structural strength, improved ride ability and adds years to the service life of the pavement.
