W215 cold milling Wirtgen is used to remove asphalt and concrete surfaces quickly and efficiently. In doing so, they create a level foundation with the specified width and depth that is required for paving new surface layers of uniform thickness. This is important, because the condition of the milled surface has a major impact on the quality of the new surface layers, their performance characteristics, and on the cost-effective completion of further construction work. When pavements re milled in layers, the milled material can be separated and selectively recovered according to mix type.
In cold milling, a distinction is made between maintenance (minor construction measures to preserve the structural integrity of the surface), repair (major construction measures to preserve the structural integrity of the surface and improve its properties), and rehabilitation (complete restoration).
