The Right Mix

Cold mix asphalt concrete is commonly used as a patching material and on lesser trafficked service roads. We produce it by emulsifying the asphalt in water with a type of soap prior to mixing with the aggregate. In its emulsified state asphalt is less viscous and the mixture is easy to shape and make compact. The emulsion will break after enough water evaporates and the cold mix will, ideally, take on the properties of cold, hot-mix asphalt concrete or HMAC.

Warm mix asphalt concrete or WMA can be produced by adding either zeolites, waxes, asphalt emulsions, or sometimes even water to the asphalt binder prior to mixing.We use such additives in hot mixed asphalt for easier compaction and also allow cold weather paving or longer hauls. This method allows significantly lower mixing and laying temperatures and results in lower consumption of fossil fuels, thus releasing less carbon dioxide, aerosols and vapors. With critical time schedules for construction, not only are working conditions improved, but the lower lying-temperature also leads to more rapid availability of the surface for use.

We pave with construction aggregates, asphalt binder, additives and modifiers and create the perfect mix of ingredients customized for each project. We do it all, including striping and seal coating.

Speed Bumps

Asphalt speed bumps are used to reduce the speed of vehicles, calm traffic and improve overall safety conditions, especially in areas with a high level of pedestrian activity, such as Central Texas’ many neighborhoods and busy parking lots.

Speed bumps must be of high quality and durability or they can quickly deteriorate, causing potential damage to vehicles passing over them if not repaired effectively and quickly. Count on a reliable asphalt contractor like Texas Materials to construct durable speed bumps that will reduce both your repair costs and the risk of harm to vehicles.

We install speed humps and speed bumps of all varieties. Texas Materials’ construction teams can install these humps and bumps according to the roads’ widths, from two to 12 feet. We also install rubber and prefabricated plastic speed bumps.

Dumpster Pads

At Texas Materials we provide a sound base for your dumpsters to save on future maintenance.

The surfaces in your parking lot underneath a dumpster should be durable and ready to withstand heavy loads.

Spaces are reinforced in the spot where the dump truck will be parked during emptying since the force of the truck and the dumpster can cause cracks, ruts and holes if an improper material is used on the lot. We use only top-grade concrete.

Texas Materials installs the concrete slabs or dumpster slabs at the street level or raised above the street level as a sturdy platform for dumpsters.
