What?
Footway reconstruction and concrete Fine Milling works
Fine milling is an innovative, sustainable, and cost-effective highway maintenance solution that replaces the need for a new asphalt surface now and for the foreseeable future. The fine milling process removes the old failing asphalt surface, then refurbishes the largely solid original concrete road beneath.
