Asphalt Berm Construction

What This Service Involves

Asphalt berms provide a fast, economical way to control drainage and delineate the edge of a lot or roadway. We extrude berms to a consistent profile along the flow line so water is directed to the intended inlet rather than eroding the shoulder. Berms bond to a clean, tacked pavement surface for a durable attachment. This is a practical alternative to concrete curb where the loading and permanence of concrete are not required.

Benefits

Economical alternative to concrete curbing; consistent profile that controls runoff; directs water to inlets and protects shoulders; fast installation with extrusion equipment; bonds durably to prepared pavement

Our Process

1) Confirm the alignment and drainage flow line; 2) Clean and tack the pavement edge; 3) Extrude the berm to a consistent profile; 4) Detail transitions and tie-ins at inlets

What Affects the Cost

Linear footage of berm; surface preparation and tack; profile size and transitions; access for the extrusion machine; coordination with drainage inlets

Best Time of Year

Berm construction pairs with summer paving projects when warm, dry conditions ensure a solid bond to the pavement.
