America is built on asphalt, literally. Of the United States’ two million-plus miles of paved roads and highways, roughly 94 percent of those are surfaced with asphalt. At C&E, our asphalt facility makes a wide variety of pavement mixes to fit your needs.

Asphalt pavement is usually around 95 percent aggregate, meaning that it is largely composed of stone, sand, or gravel, with five percent asphalt cement used as a binder. This binder comes about as the result of oil refining, and it glues the aggregate components together.

In use since circa 2350 BC as a roofing sealant, asphalt is a semi-solid material that’s used in 94 percent of all road construction projects across the United States — and is America’s most recycled material. C&E provides asphalt to many large road construction companies with the precise composition of bitumen and aggregate components and temperature. Allow C&E to bid on your project and provide you with a professional product that will last for years to come.
