A milling machine is typically used to remove the surface material of existing pavement and a power broom is used to clean the loose debris on an overlay project. Distributor tanks are used to apply prime coats and/or tack coats. Dump trucks are used to transport hot mix asphalt material from the plant to the paving site and a paver is needed to pave a smooth mat. Then asphalt compactors are used to densify the material.
