Whether we're paving parking lots, repairing asphalt, or building durable highways, our core values are committed to solutions that benefit our clients and the planet.
day, we’re sharing just a few exciting ways paving is changing for a better, more sustainable future.
Smart Pavement Technology for Smarter Roads
Think about all the highways, parking lots, and city streets you drive on.
Now imagine if those very surfaces were equipped with technology to monitor wear, predict maintenance needs, or even save energy costs. That's not science fiction—it's something that is being actively explored.
Integrating advanced tech into asphalt solutions is revolutionizing road paving. This continuous investment in research helps ensure durability and smarter traffic management and maintenance solutions.
Cool Pavement Technology: Fighting the Urban Heat
City streets shouldn't feel like walking on the sun. That's where cool pavement technology comes in.
By using reflective asphalt, it helps reduce urban heat islands, making cities more comfortable for everyone. Imagine cooler sidewalks and streets during blazing summers — all without sacrificing durability or performance.
Warm Mix Asphalt: A Game-Changer in Sustainability
Did you know that asphalt can help reduce carbon emissions? It's true!
At BR, we're leading the way with warm-mix asphalt technology. This advanced solution produces asphalt at lower temperatures than traditional hot-mix methods, significantly reducing our carbon output.
This isn't just good for the planet — it's good for you, too. Warm mix asphalt improves workability and extends pavement lifespan, ensuring smoother, longer-lasting surfaces for everything from parking lot paving to roadway construction.
By lowering the production temperature, we use less energy and reduce emissions while delivering the same high-quality results you expect. This is one of the many ways we’re working toward our goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050.
Recycled Asphalt That Does More
Did you know that what used to be waste is now one of the most high-performing materials in our industry?
At BR, we're at the forefront of high RAM asphalt — a mix that includes recycled asphalt materials. This allows us to construct projects with performance you can trust while reducing the waste sent to landfills.
Plus, we offer entirely tailor-made solutions that extend the life of your pavement, meaning fewer repairs and replacements in the long run. From pothole repair to full site prep, using recycled asphalt is a win for both sustainability and cost-effectiveness.
Permeable Asphalt for Better Stormwater Management
Whether under the blazing sun or pouring rain, asphalt needs to hold up.
Permeable asphalt technology helps manage stormwater by letting it pass through the pavement surface. More than just an eco-friendly solution, it's an effective way to prevent flooding and reduce long-term wear on your roads.
Bituminous Roadways: Paving the Way to the Future
Sustainability is no longer optional — it's a responsibility. At BR, we take that responsibility seriously, ensuring every project is eco-friendly and effective.
At BR, it's not just about paving; it's about building long-lasting relationships and improving communities. Behind every project, you'll find our hardworking team, quality-tested materials, and a drive to deliver excellence.
Whether a small business needs asphalt patching or a municipality planning a large-scale roadway construction project, we bring tailor-made solutions that meet your needs.
