What the county recorded

This item is not from the published agenda

It is a stretch of the recording that this archive identified as a separate matter — a call to order, a recess, or something taken up that the agenda does not list. There is no official title, no staff recommendation and no disposition, because the county never recorded one. Everything below is inferred.

Hi, I'm Ainsley with Pasco County Pavement Management. People always ask why can't you pave roads faster? Well, the process isn't as simple as it seems. We use two methods, which you can see here. They're called milling and paving and full depth reclamation and solid semen. What does that mean exactly? Let's break them down.

90% of our paving projects are done through milling and paving, which takes about two weeks depending on weather and the length of the road. We start by grinding and removing 2 to 3 inches of the road, then we sweep the road to remove fines. Fines are small particles of asphalt or lime rock. Next, we spray tack, which is a mixture of oil and water, onto the road surface to make sure that the asphalt bonds to the road surface. Then we apply

a layer or two of asphalt. Ever notice steam rising from the asphalt? That's because it's trucked to the work site at a whopping 325 degrees or hotter. Next, we drive a steam roller over the asphalt to make sure the surface is flat and smooth. And that's it. Now let's look at the second paving process Pasco uses, which usually takes a bit longer.

Our geotechnician team drills into the roadway at the job site and takes samples to a lab to help us determine what mix to use. Then we create a mix to use on the road from materials we salvage from the pre-existing road. A machine grinds 10 inches into the road base, feeding all that material into a giant mixing machine where it mixes with other ingredients before being spread onto the road. The surface has to be set for a few days, and then our team returns to the site to

test the road's strength. If it gets two thumbs up, Up, we grind two inches off the base, sweep the fines, and add the tack and lay the asphalt. So those are the two ways Pasco works to make your commute.
