Professional Asphalt Estimation Guide
Using a professional calculator helps prevent ordering too little material (creating weak "cold joints") or over-ordering (wasting budget). This tool includes safety margins used by civil engineers.
ā The Calculation Logic
- Volume: Length Ć Width Ć Thickness
- Base Weight: Volume Ć Asphalt Density (Standard is 2.4 t/mĀ³)
- Total Weight: Base Weight + Safety Margin (5-10%)
Why include a Safety Margin?
In real-world paving, "perfect" conditions don't exist. You should add 5% to 10% extra material for:
- Uneven sub-grade (ground) levels.
- Material compaction (asphalt shrinks when rolled).
- Waste at the edges of the paver.
- Small spills during truck transfer.
