✦ Concrete Over Asphalt
Install Concrete Over Suitable Existing Asphalt
PaveTech Solutions provides concrete-over-asphalt paving for suitable parking lots, commercial properties, industrial facilities, municipalities, and other paved areas throughout Wisconsin. We evaluate the existing asphalt, pavement condition, drainage, elevations, traffic, support, and project requirements before determining whether concrete can be placed over the existing surface.
When Existing Asphalt Can Become Part of the New Pavement System
Concrete can sometimes be placed over suitable existing asphalt instead of removing the entire asphalt surface first. When pavement condition, support, drainage, elevations, and project design allow, the existing asphalt can remain as part of the pavement system beneath the new concrete.
✦ Concrete Over Asphalt Paving
Use the Existing Pavement When Conditions Allow
Existing asphalt must provide suitable support and meet the elevation, drainage, and project requirements of the planned concrete pavement. Failed or unsuitable areas may need correction before concrete placement.
Pavement Evaluation & Preparation
We inspect the existing asphalt for cracking, settlement, rutting, drainage, repairs, and overall condition, then prepare or correct areas that need attention before concrete placement.
Grade, Drainage & Placement
We review finished elevations, drainage, curbs, entrances, drains, sidewalks, and surrounding surfaces, then place concrete based on the approved pavement design and intended use.
Jointing, Finishing & Curing
We coordinate joints and saw cuts to manage concrete movement, then finish and cure the pavement before reopening the area to traffic based on project requirements and strength development.
✦ Concrete Over Asphalt Applications
When an Existing Asphalt Surface May Be Suitable
Concrete over asphalt may be appropriate when the existing pavement can provide suitable support and the site conditions allow the additional concrete pavement to be installed.
Existing asphalt parking lots
Commercial paved areas
Industrial or high-use surfaces
Asphalt with surface deterioration but usable support
Properties considering conversion from asphalt to concrete
Sites where full asphalt removal may not be necessary
Existing pavement suitable for concrete overlay construction
✦ Our Process
How We Prepare Asphalt for Concrete Placement
Evaluate
We review the existing asphalt, drainage, elevations, cracking, settlement, traffic demands, and overall pavement suitability.
Prepare
We complete approved repairs, corrections, cleaning, milling, or other preparation needed before concrete placement.
Place & Finish
Our team installs and finishes the concrete according to the approved pavement design and project requirements.
Joint, Cure & Reopen
We complete the required joints or saw cuts, protect the concrete during curing, and provide guidance for reopening the pavement to traffic.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can concrete be poured directly over asphalt?
Yes, in some cases. Concrete can be placed over suitable existing asphalt when the pavement condition, support, drainage, elevations, and project design allow it.
What is concrete over asphalt called?
It is generally referred to as a concrete overlay of asphalt pavement. The term “whitetopping” is also commonly used for concrete placed over existing asphalt.
Does the asphalt need to be removed first?
Not always. Suitable asphalt may remain in place as part of the support system, while failed or unsuitable areas may require repair or removal before concrete placement.
How do you know if existing asphalt is suitable?
We evaluate pavement condition, cracking, settlement, drainage, support, elevations, traffic, and other site conditions before recommending a concrete overlay.
Can damaged asphalt still receive a concrete overlay?
Some surface distress may be acceptable, but significant structural failure, settlement, or unstable support may require correction first.
Can concrete over asphalt be used for parking lots?
Yes. Concrete overlays over asphalt can be used for suitable parking lots and other paved facilities when the existing pavement and project conditions support the method.
Why would concrete be placed over asphalt instead of removing it?
Keeping existing pavement can reduce unnecessary removal while using the asphalt as part of the supporting pavement structure. Whether this approach makes sense depends on the site and pavement.

Could Concrete Over Asphalt Fit Your Property?
Tell us about the existing asphalt, pavement condition, traffic, drainage, elevations, and project goals. We’ll help determine whether a concrete overlay, full removal and replacement, or another paving method fits the site.
