Asphalt Paving in Monahans, TX

Pavement is only as good as what's under it — and that part is ours.

Rangefinder Excavation provides asphalt paving throughout Monahans, TX and Ward County. Monahans' sandy soils require different compaction approaches than the clay and caliche found elsewhere in our service area — something our crews account for on every job.

Almost every failed parking lot in the Permian Basin failed from underneath. The mat gets blamed, but the real culprit is a subgrade that was never compacted, a base that was too thin, or water with nowhere to go. Rangefinder Excavation approaches asphalt from the dirt up, because the dirt is what decides whether the pavement lasts five years or fifteen.

Ground conditions — Monahans, TX

Ward County ground is sand — the Monahans Sandhills run right along the north side of town, and sand does not compact the way caliche does.

Sand drains almost too well; the problem is not standing water, it is a surface that will not hold shape under load without imported base.
