Base Repair & Reconstruction

Base repair and reconstruction may be needed when the existing pavement foundation has failed, settled, weakened, or become unsuitable for resurfacing.
Not sure whether your site needs grading, excavation, compaction, or base reconstruction? UPAVE LTD can assess the project area and recommend the right preparation steps.

Why Base Preparation Matters

The quality of the finished surface depends heavily on the condition of the ground and base underneath it. Even high-quality asphalt can fail early if the subgrade is weak, the base is poorly compacted, or drainage is not properly planned. 

Proper site preparation and base work can help:

Project recommendations depend on soil conditions, property use, drainage, traffic volume, base depth, and the intended surface type.

If your project needs a reliable foundation before paving or construction, contact UPAVE LTD to discuss site preparation and base work.

What to Expect From a Site Preparation Project

Where needed, existing material may be removed, adjusted, regraded, or prepared for new base installation.

4. Base Construction and Compaction

Aggregate, gravel, or stabilized material may be placed and compacted to support the future paved or constructed surface.
