Gohmann Asphalt & Construction

In doing asphalt paving, one of the issues contractors face is choosing between asphalt and concrete. Most modern-day paving techniques make use of asphalt and concrete. Asphalt and concrete are quite flexible materials. They have long been used in history in the building sector. However, the biggest difference between the two is the price.

But which one is actually better to use especially in building parking areas and/or garage surfaces? Let this list of benefits and pitfalls of concrete paving and asphalt enlighten you. Concrete is prone to splitting and twisting. Compared to asphalt, concrete is heavy and firm layout. Some of the things that easily damages concrete include tree roots, ground movement, freeze thaw cycles, and dirt movement.

Asphalt Paving offers better environmental adaptability over concrete especially when managing tension and fracturing. Asphalt sets much faster compared to concrete offering it a strong benefit in both expense and comfort for parking area and garage paving.
