Asphalt Saves Energy

Vehicles traveling on smooth pavements consume up to 4.5 percent less fuel than when traveling on rough pavements. Asphalt pavements start out smooth and stay smooth.

Less energy consumed in building pavements

Asphalt pavements require about 20 percent less energy to produce and construct than other pavements. Rubblization of concrete pavement with an asphalt overlay also saves energy. The rubblized pavement does not need to be hauled away; new base material does not need to be trucked in; and landfill space is saved. In addition, the need for mining, crushing, and processing of virgin materials is reduced.

Less energy consumed by the traveling public
Reducing congestion—which wastes fuel— by constructing asphalt pavements just makes sense. Asphalt pavements are faster to construct and rehabilitate. Asphalt pavement rehabilitation can be accomplished during off-peak hours. On highly traveled routes, much of this work can be done at night. One or more lanes can be closed after the evening rush hour, milled for recycling, resurfaced, and then opened for traffic the following morning. Most motorists do not have to deal with the inconvenience of construction delay. Because a new or newly rehabilitated asphalt pavement can be opened to traffic as soon as it has been compacted and cooled, there is no question of waiting for days or weeks, with traffic being detoured or squeezed into fewer for the material to cure.

Lower emissions
When vehicles consume less fuel, they produce lower emissions. Reducing emissions from vehicles would reduce greenhouse gas production and have a tremendous impact on global climate change.Smoothing out all our rough old pavements with asphalt overlays would be an energy-efficient investment.

Testimonials

"I have several rentals in San Diego and was in the process of completing a small build and needed the alley way in front of the garage paved. I called around to 3 contractor and Frank and his team got the bid not just based on price but availability (since I had a short time frame to get this done). Doing small asphalt jobs as I later found out aren't high priority but frank was fantastic. In addition to price and quality of the job, he called me the day of, prior to the crew arriving since he knew that space was limited and I had concern of blocking in neighbors. Even my own general contractor on the build didn't provide such notice when they had large trucks potentially invading others space. Bottom line, 5-star review all the way and I would highly recommend Frank and their team to do any size job for you or your business. Communication is key and knowing what a clients needs are, and budget, really made for a great experience. Thank you!"

"When we needed an Asphalt Contractor to redo our driveway we didnt know where to turn. We called 3 companies we found on Google but only received one return call! We found All-Pro Asphalt in the BBB direc- tory and called for a bid. The estimator was friendly and informative, the crew was clean and organized and the entire experience was A+"
