When rehabilitating damaged roadways, asphalt milling is a conventional process that offers several solutions depending on the level of deterioration.
This technique consists of removing materials to a predetermined depth in order to correct certain deficiencies in the roadway surface.
Several types of equipment with different characteristics are suited to the various types of corrections required. The most commonly used milling practices today include the removal of the wearing course when ride quality standards become an issue, as well as full pavement removal when the level of deterioration is too advanced. HDF Constructions offers a range of milling equipment with different cutting widths (0.5 m, 1 m, 1.2 m, 2.2 m, and 2.5 m).
In 2018, the company acquired a new Wirtgen W 250i cold milling machine, a flagship model in the large milling machine category. With features designed to deliver exceptional efficiency, productivity, and precision, the W 250i is one of the most effective solutions for road rehabilitation and major infrastructure milling operations.
Indeed, it allows for tight turns, fast and precise handling of the equipment, as well as parallel guidance of the lifting columns. To simplify and optimize equipment operation, advanced guidance systems are integrated.
In today’s constantly evolving market, HDF Constructions has observed that this equipment effectively meets the specific needs of its clients.
