Why Is Asphalt Preferred for Roads?
Asphalt isn’t just the tried and true industry standard; it’s the intelligent solution for communities and for developers.
Durable and flexible – Asphalt pavement is designed to withstand heavy loads of traffic and to accommodate changing soil conditions.
Rapid Installation – If time is an issue, asphalt roads have more rapid setting times, enabling roads to open to traffic more quickly, reducing inconvenience.
Affordable – Asphalt is cheaper to set up and costs even less over the life of the road.
Sustainability – Most types of modern asphalt can be recycled, which means that it is a more environmentally-friendly option.
Silky Smooth – The smooth asphalt surface offers safer, quieter and more pleasant travels.
Adapting to Local Conditions
Every area that MR Asphalt works in is unique, and has its own challenges — and the way asphalt construction takes place needs to reflect that.
Melbourne’s South Eastern Suburbs
These areas have continuous development of houses and need road surfaces that are asinconspicuous as possible while retaining their durability in the long run.
Mornington Peninsula Shire
The Bayside is by the coast, so the asphalt takes a lot of wear and tear, including salt spray, hazy, strong winds, and humidity. From the binding and sealing point of view, asphalt is anexcellent option for coastal conditions.
West Gippsland
Rural areas here are typically used to heavy traffic, including farm machinery and trucks. Inthe case of asphalt pavement, a durable sub-base is required in order to carry the heavy loads and alleviate rutting towards the shoulder/embankment.
The Asphalt Road Construction Process
Building strong, lasting roads is about more than just laying down some asphalt. This is how MR Asphalt addresses each and every project:

Finishing It Up – Drainage, edge capping, safety inspections wrap things up.
Quality Check – All Products Are Checked at The Factory Before Packaging To Ensure The Quality Is Good,Smooth,Strong, And Compliant.
