Base, Drainage and Tack Coat

Asphalt Coatings Company builds every paving project on engineered base preparation, with aggregate compacted to the traffic loads the surface will actually carry. Drainage grading prevents ponding, and tack coat applied between lifts bonds each layer to the one beneath it. Each lift is compacted with steel-drum rollers to specified density.

These are the details that matter most in Fort Collins' freeze-thaw climate.

Designing for Fort Collins Conditions

Asphalt Coatings Company designs commercial pavement for three Fort Collins challenges. First, 100+ freeze-thaw cycles a year, as water enters cracks, freezes and expands. Second, UV exposure at 5,003 feet with 300+ days of sunshine, which oxidizes asphalt binder. Third, expansive clay soils that swell when wet and shrink when dry, moving the sub-base.

Base depth, asphalt thickness and drainage configuration are set with all three in mind.

Project Sizes and Equipment

Asphalt Coatings Company handles surfaces ranging from 5,000-square-foot parking lot overlays to 200,000-square-foot industrial and distribution yards. The company owns and operates asphalt pavers, steel-drum vibratory rollers, cold milling machines and truck-mounted sealcoat systems, and handles projects up to 1,500 parking spaces.

Planning Before Paving

Asphalt Coatings Company begins every Fort Collins project with a detailed assessment of pavement condition, subgrade stability, soil movement, traffic loads, drainage, accessibility, elevations, adjoining concrete and property operations. Each project defines materials, quantities, construction methods, phases and reopening requirements before work begins.

Paving Season and Timelines

Asphalt Coatings Company schedules paving in Fort Collins from April through November, when air and ground temperatures stay above 50°F so hot mix asphalt compacts and bonds properly. New construction paving of 100,000+ square feet typically takes two to four weeks. Work can be phased or scheduled on nights and weekends to maintain access.
