Road & Pavement Profiling

At Elite Roads, our commitment to infrastructure excellence is demonstrated through our advanced road and pavement services in Australia. Road and pavement profiling is essential for successful road rehabilitation projects. It's key for maintaining and improving the lifespan and safety of road surfaces involving the precise removal of asphalt or concrete by cutting or milling out imperfections and preparing surfaces for resurfacing or rehabilitation.

Understanding the profiling process

Profiling machines prepare road surfaces properly before applying new layers of asphalt. This enhances the durability of roads and significantly improves drivers' safety. Our profiling machines each have 180 high-strength steel (tungsten Carbide) teeth on rotating drums, which carefully cut through worn and damaged pavement layers. This is crucial for correcting surface irregularities and ensuring base layers are level and the damaged and compromised layers are removed for a high-quality finish.

Our profilers can cut up to a 320mm depth in one continuous pass or run, which can be kilometres long, depending on client requirements and at a consistent depth to client design, outperforming excavators and other similar machinery.

Our pavement profiler’s innovative techniques

Our pavement profilers use cutting-edge technologies in road profiling projects of different scopes, including industry-leading 3D machine control technology. This technology allows for extremely accurate removal of specific pavement layers to client design by automating the process, reducing the risk of over-milling, and preserving the underlying structures. Such precision is vital for projects requiring intricate detail, especially in urban and residential areas.

Benefits of high-quality road profiling

High-quality road profiling offers numerous benefits:

  • Increased longevity of road surfaces — By removing only the necessary amount of pavement and ensuring that surfaces are perfectly prepared for subsequent layers, we extend the lifespan of road infrastructure.

  • Enhanced safety — Smooth and even road surfaces reduce the risk of accidents, making roads safer for vehicles and pedestrians.

  • Cost efficiency — Precise profiling helps minimise material waste and reduce the need for future repairs, providing a cost-effective solution for road maintenance.

  • Environmental impact — Our modern profiling techniques reduce debris and waste, contributing to environmental conservation. Additionally, we can recycle road profilings into new roads, minimising raw material use and landfill waste. This commitment enhances sustainability and lowers our environmental footprint.

Projects and innovations

We have completed numerous high-profile road and pavement profiling projects, setting industry benchmarks for quality and efficiency. Our innovative approach and continuous improvement strategies have positioned us as leaders in road construction and maintenance.

FAQs

  • Our pavement profiling services in Australia offer significant advantages over conventional excavation techniques, particularly in precision and efficiency. While traditional excavation can be labour-intensive and imprecise, our profiling with 3D Machine control removes exact layers of a road surface in line with customer design, minimising damage to underlying structures. This saves time and reduces material waste, leading to more cost-effective operations.

    Profiling generates less debris and causes minimal disruption to the surrounding environment and traffic, leading to faster project completion. This method preserves the integrity of the remaining road structure and ensures a smoother base for resurfacing, enhancing the overall quality and longevity of road infrastructure.

  • When removing specific pavement layers, our pavement profilers employ state-of-the-art 3D machine control technology to ensure precision and millimetre-perfect accuracy. This approach is critical for maintaining structural integrity, achieving uniform surfaces, and meeting client design specifications.

    We invest in ongoing training for our operators, ensuring they are skilled in using the latest equipment and techniques. This combination of cutting-edge technology and expert handling ensures that every profiling project meets the highest standards of precision and quality, delivering superior results that are consistent and reliable.
