What happens here
After the final surface layer of asphalt has been laid, perform the final compaction using vibratory asphalt rollers. This step is critical for achieving the ultimate density, smoothness, and long-term durability of the parking lot. The rollers make multiple passes, often using both static and vibratory modes, to eliminate voids and create a tight, even surface. Water is continuously sprayed on the drums to prevent sticking. This final compaction ensures a high-quality finished product that can withstand heavy traffic and weather conditions.
Goal: Achieve final density, smoothness, and durability for the asphalt surface
