The paving industry is evolving—and at Tibbs Paving, we’re committed to staying ahead of the curve. From smarter equipment to sustainable materials, new technologies are helping contractors work more efficiently, improve quality, and reduce environmental impact. Whether you're managing a commercial property, HOA, or private roadway, understanding these innovations can help you make better, longer-lasting paving decisions.
🛰️ 1. GPS & 3D Paving Control Systems
Modern paving equipment is now equipped with GPS and 3D control systems that offer incredible accuracy. These systems help crews grade and lay pavement with exact measurements—reducing material waste and ensuring consistent surface smoothness.
At Tibbs Paving, we use advanced equipment and layout systems to deliver precise results from start to finish, especially on complex commercial and municipal projects.
🌡️ 2. Infrared Asphalt Repair
Infrared repair is a fast, cost-effective way to fix localized damage like potholes, cracks, or seam separation. This technology heats the existing asphalt until it becomes workable, allowing it to be mixed with new material and compacted into a seamless patch.
This method is ideal for high-traffic commercial lots and HOA communities that need quick turnaround with minimal disruption—something Tibbs Paving excels at delivering.
🛞 3. Permeable Paving Systems
Sustainability is a major trend in construction, and permeable paving is leading the way. These surfaces allow water to drain through the pavement into the ground below, reducing runoff, improving stormwater management, and complying with environmental regulations.
Tibbs Paving offers eco-friendly paving solutions—including permeable asphalt and concrete—for clients looking to combine performance with environmental responsibility.
🔍 4. Pavement Management Technology
With advanced software tools, property managers can now track pavement condition, schedule maintenance, and forecast repair costs with more accuracy than ever before. These systems help extend the life of pavement while reducing long-term expenses.
As part of our commitment to long-term asset management, Tibbs Paving partners with clients to develop custom pavement maintenance plans using data-driven tools and visual inspections.
⚙️ 5. Eco-Friendly Materials & Warm Mix Asphalt
New mix designs like Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) reduce the temperature needed for paving, lowering emissions and energy use. Recycled materials—like Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP)—are also being widely used without compromising quality.
Tibbs Paving uses high-quality, sustainable materials wherever possible to minimize environmental impact while meeting the demands of modern construction.
