Water is one of the biggest causes of pavement failure in New England. Every winter, freeze/thaw cycles allow trapped water to expand beneath asphalt, leading to cracking, edge failure, and ongoing deterioration.
Today our crew at Worcester is actively installing a new 4’ deep perimeter drainage system designed to intercept and redirect groundwater before it can damage the pavement structure.
This project is also one of the first few jobs utilizing our new Hitachi ZX135 equipped with Trimble 3D grade control technology, allowing for highly accurate trench elevations, consistent drainage pitch, and increased installation efficiency.
By controlling the water first, we help extend the life of the asphalt, reduce future maintenance costs, and create a more stable base year-round.
Drainage is the foundation of a long-lasting pavement system.
