Municipal infrastructure demands precision, efficiency, and absolute reliability. We work closely with cities, general contractors, and developers to deliver durable asphalt paving that meets strict timelines, handles high-traffic environments, and stays within budget. With no room for error, we ensure every project is completed with the quality, safety, and consistency municipalities rely on.
Municipal projects operate under tight schedules and in busy public zones, where accuracy and efficiency are critical. Our team partners with municipalities, contractors, and developers to deliver long-lasting asphalt paving solutions that withstand constant use and meet all required standards. We provide dependable results that keep communities moving safely and smoothly.
When public spaces leave no room for error, municipalities count on us to deliver. We complete asphalt paving projects with the precision, durability, and on-schedule performance required to support growing communities and high-traffic road networks. Our commitment to quality ensures infrastructure built to last.
The Importance of Quality Municipal Paving
Municipal surfaces carry thousands of vehicles, service equipment, cyclists, and pedestrians every day. Poor-quality paving leads to early cracking, rutting, drainage failures, and costly repairs that disrupt communities and strain public budgets. By prioritizing durability and precision, we ensure infrastructure remains safe, reliable, and functional for years to come.
Equally important is strict adherence to the latest municipal and provincial specifications. Every city, county, and provincial authority in Alberta sets detailed standards for asphalt mixes, compaction levels, base requirements, drainage performance, and traffic control during construction. Following these specifications ensures consistency, longevity, and full compliance with regulatory expectations. Our team stays current with all municipal and Alberta Transportation guidelines, delivering paving solutions that meet the exact standards required for public infrastructure across the region.

Our Municipal Paving Process
We've refined our municipal paving process to minimize disruption while maximizing quality:
Initial Assessment & Planning
We will begin by reviewing existing pavement conditions, underground constraints, traffic patterns, and site access. Our team evaluates subgrade condition, drainage, and surface failures to establish a clear and effective construction plan.
Scope Development & Specification Review
We develop the project scope in alignment with current municipal and provincial standards. All materials, construction methods, and traffic control measures are reviewed to ensure full compliance before work begins.
Pre-Construction Meeting
U-PAVE representative will meet with City representatives and contractors to confirm schedules, traffic staging, access requirements, and safety expectations. All sequencing and coordination details are finalized before mobilization.
Daily FLHA & Tailgate Safety Meetings
Before work begins each day, our crews complete a Field Level Hazard Assessment (FLHA) and conduct a tailgate safety meeting. This ensures site hazards are reviewed, tasks are discussed, and controls are in place for safe daily operations.
Mobilization
Our crews mobilize equipment
Excavation & Removal (As Required)
Where necessary, we remove failed pavement or weak material in preparation for new construction.
Subgrade Prep or Cement Stabilization (As Required)
For sites requiring additional support, we stabilize the subgrade with cement to improve strength and load-bearing capacity.
We prepare and compact the subgrade and install granular base to specification. Testing and quality checks are completed before paving proceeds.
Base Preparation (As Required)
We install and compact granular material where necessary to meet design requirements and ensure proper drainage.
Asphalt Placement
We install municipal-grade asphalt using approved mixes and placement methods. Each layer is compacted to meet density and performance requirements.
Line Marking & Cleanup
Once asphalt placement is complete, we apply pavement markings based on approved layouts. Final cleanup is performed to return the site to service.
Final Inspection & Project Close-Out
U-PAVE representative will attend a walk-through with City officials to confirm compliance with specifications. Any deficiencies are addressed prior to final acceptance.
