Rain and Precipitation<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
When it comes to paving and precipitation, the two do not go\nhand-in-hand. You cannot move forward with a paving project if it is raining,\nsnowing, hailing, sleeting, or even lightly sprinkling. In fact, any type of\nwet conditions are not well-suited for paving, neither asphalt nor concrete. For\ninstance, if the ground is still wet from a storm that came through a day\nbefore, paving plans cannot, and should not, commence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So why no paving in wetness? Asphalt mixtures contain oil, which repels water. These are not conducive properties if you want to get asphalt to adhere to the ground. If you were to lay asphalt while it was raining or wet, the pavement would develop cracks, and holes as it cures, and quickly lead to pothole formation and similar exponential damages. Overall, rain and precipitation have negative effects on the outcome of a paving project. See our blog, \u201cWill Rain Affect My Newly Laid Asphalt?<\/a>\u201d to learn more about this topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have a large-scale paving project in the works, and\nthe time is set to begin during an active tornado warning, there is a good\nchance it will be delayed. Mild weather is the best weather to perform any\npaving project, regardless of size or scope. As for large-scale projects, more\nkinds of heavier machinery and equipment are used, and more staff are needed to\ncarry out the job. This means that hazardous weather conditions, such as\ntornado warnings, can put contractors at risk, as well as, ultimately affect\nthe outcome of a paving remodel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another common reason why a paving project might need to be\npostponed is when the client changes their mind about the scope or design of\nthe plan. Since readdressing a previously-agreed upon paving project will mean\nrewriting the specifications, rerouting the approach, and perhaps even changing\nthe bid, it\u2019s not something that is done last minute on the side of the\ncontractors. Paving contractors will need time to adjust any changes that you\nmight want to make before the project day comes, and this is perfectly acceptable.\nA good paving company will care more about your ultimate satisfaction than\nrearranging their schedule by a day or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Call ACI Asphalt and Concrete at 317-549-1833<\/strong> for licensed, bonded, and insured paving and road management services in Indianapolis, Indiana.
