-Asphalt can be defined
as a sticky very viscous liquid that is in semi-solid form of petroleum.
Sometimes, asphalt is also referred to as bitumen and it can either be
extracted from natural deposits or refined. Asphalts is mainly used in the
construction of roads and making the roofs of flat buildings because it is
waterproof. When it is being used for construction, it is used as the binder or
glue that is mixed with aggregate particles, to come up with asphalt concrete.
Colored asphalt
In most cases, asphalt
comes in black but today, it is possible to have colored asphalt. The use of
colored asphalt is mostly preferred when constructing closed surfaces, in order
to attract more attention. Some of the most common places you can construct
using colored asphalt include the following;
• Speed bumps.
• On the pavements that are in tunnels.
• Foot pathways and passenger sidewalks.
• Parking zones and spots.

2. We then grade the slope of your land so
that we can determine the direction the water flows to. We use a hose with
water that we pour on the broken ground and watch the flow. Then we create
mounds of soil on the path the water flows to so that the ground is even.
3. We then compact the ground using a
roller and ensure that the soil is very well compacted.
4. We then use crushed rocks to cover the
base of the ground we have compacted, and then compact again so that the rocks
are embedded properly into the subsoil.
5. We then leave the base to settle for
approximately one week so that it is reinforced and stronger.
6. Depending on the intended use, we will
choose the asphalt thickness and size and pour it on the surface and compact it
with a roller.
