Engineered for Longevity: Our Construction Process
Quality street construction requires careful planning and execution to deliver lasting results. We follow our signature Noble Cortes Advantage™ approach through comprehensive project assessment that includes traffic analysis, soil testing, drainage evaluation, and utility coordination.
Our precision excavation and preparation phase handles controlled demolition when needed, expert grading to proper profiles, and subgrade stabilization using appropriate methods. Underground utility protection and storm drainage installation ensure long-term infrastructure integrity.
Engineered base construction utilizes appropriate aggregate selection, layered installation with controlled compaction, and density testing to verify load-bearing capacity. This critical phase establishes the structural support system for the entire pavement.
Premium asphalt installation incorporates mix designs appropriate for traffic and climate conditions, temperature-controlled material management, and precision finishing for optimal ride quality. Our installation techniques ensure performance that meets both technical specifications and user satisfaction.
Complete integration work includes professional curb and gutter installation, ADA-compliant pedestrian facilities, drainage structure adjustments, and high-visibility traffic markings that enhance both functionality and safety.
Rehabilitation Solutions for Existing Streets
Even well-built streets eventually require rehabilitation. Our comprehensive evaluation process helps determine the most cost-effective approach:
- Visual condition assessment and distress mapping
- Core sampling to verify pavement structure
- Deflection testing for structural capacity analysis
- Ground Penetrating Radar for subsurface evaluation
Based on our findings, we recommend optimal rehabilitation strategies. Mill and overlay removes the deteriorated surface layer and replaces it with new asphalt, restoring ride quality while maintaining existing elevations. Full-depth reclamation offers a sustainable approach that pulverizes existing materials, blends them with stabilizing additives, and creates a strengthened base topped with fresh asphalt.
Cold-in-place recycling provides an environmentally friendly option that recycles existing pavement materials on-site, reducing costs and environmental impact. For severely deteriorated areas, complete structural replacement addresses subsurface issues and provides long-term solutions.
All rehabilitation projects include updating pedestrian facilities to current ADA standards through proper curb ramp reconstruction, detectable warning surfaces, and crosswalk accessibility enhancements.
