Milled Asphalt Application
Milled Asphalt Application
(OP)
Is it possible to asphalt a lot from milled asphalt
(lot is currently dirt and gravel) to support intermittent propane transport deliveries(GVW 80,000 lbs)?. Lot should be somewhat permeable to rain.
If the above is feasible, the milled asphalt would be applied in relatively thin layers between each compaction,therefore,how thick should the total base be?

If you have a subgrade that tends to get mud holes and ruts when it gets wet, you will need to do something to stabilize the subgrade. The asphalt millings aren't as permeable as road base or gravel, but they are certainly more permeable than an asphalt pavement.

cvg, your suggestion is fine but right now we are still in an exploratory phase on what we are going to do with this privately owned lot.

I agree with coloeng's approach to using the milled asphalt as a covering aggregate. It can also be mixed in-place with existing gravel and sand, supplemented by a few percent by weight of asphalt emulsion (civilperson....is this what you were referencing,perhaps?) and compacted to produce a fairly durable pavement base section that can be left exposed for low traffic applications. It is generally not pervious though. It is a cold mixing process and can be done inexpensively.

you might even be able to utilize soil cementing to develop your subbase or partial base course. again, enlist a geotech to see what your options might be based on the project size, budget, desired performance, etc.
good luck
