Asphalt Trends in 2024

Are you looking for a durable and eco-friendly paving solution? Climate concerns are driving the search for new, more environmentally responsible asphalt technology. What sustainable paving products could you take advantage of? Check out the latest asphalt trends in 2024 from the experts at American Asphalt, the Bay Area’s most highly rated paving company.

Advances in Asphalt Formulations

New, cutting-edge asphalt additives continue to advance formulation quality, offering improved resistance to cracking, shearing, potholes, and more. At American Asphalt, we understand the importance these advanced, quality products have on lasting performance. We stay up to date on upcoming technology to deliver our customers paving results that improve durability, reduce asphalt maintenance costs and inconvenience, and enhance safety.

Recycled Asphalt Pavement

Reclaiming asphalt from previous products lowers cost, minimizes landfill waste, and reduces the need to source new materials. Caltrans encourages the use of recycled materials, allowing 25-40% recycled asphalt pavement, depending on project specifications. Our knowledgeable CALTRANS paving contractors can help you maximize recycled asphalt use to reduce project costs, repurpose waste, save resources, and reduce environmental impact.

Permeable Pavement

Permeable pavement offers many advantages. It’s fast, easy, and affordable to install. Permeable pavement reduces the urban heat island effect and decreases runoff and stormwater flooding risks. Filtering water through permeable pavement improves water quality and replenishes groundwater more quickly. Pavers may be removed, allowing for temporary lawn parking or road creation for events or projects. Filled (permanent) permeable pavement installations can support vehicles of almost any size, including heavy equipment.

‘Smart’ Pavement

Integrating sensors in pavement offers real-time data on temperature and environmental stressors, allowing you to manage pavement maintenance issues before they result in costly repairs or reduced lifespan. Not ready to go high-tech? Our customized asphalt maintenance plans can keep you on the right track.

Automated Paving Equipment

Automating certain aspects of laying asphalt facilitates precision installation, improves pavement quality, and speeds up project completion. Our in-house team has the skills and equipment to get the job done right, employing the latest tools and technology to achieve stellar results.

EV Parking Lot Charging Station Integration

As more Americans switch to electric vehicles, offering charging stations in parking lots will become increasingly important to remain competitive. Our local paving contractors can assist you with integrating the latest charging technology to attract employees and customers and showcase your commitment to sustainability.
