Company History
Allpave Asphalt Services was founded in 1997 with the purchase of a single asphalt paving machine. Initially hiring this machine to commercial and domestic customers including local councils, the company grew with the successful tender for the supply of paving equipment and operator hire with Main Roads in 2001. Allpave Asphalt Services quickly became a Main Roads preferred supplier and a lengthy and rewarding relationship ensued. While this one tender has supplied the majority of our workload, we also offer a variety of other services including asphalt paving of car parks, driveways and new estates. The company has grown considerably over the past 20 years and now has a number of pavers ranging in size from as small as 2m wide (1m with cut off shoe) to 5m wide paving capabilities. A very high standard of quality is met on every job we undertake with our expert staff ensuring only the finest finish.Our Equipment
Pavers
We have a fleet of Bitelli Machines ranging in size from 1m (with cut off shoe) right up to 4.75m paving capabilities. All pavers are hired with expert operators experienced in the laying of asphalt with paving equipment.

The fleet consists of:Bitelli BB630/BB632 – These paver’s have a screed width of 1.8m wide closed up which can be reduced to 1m wide with a cut off shoe and be extended to a width of 3.2m wide then increased to 4m wide by adding extension boxes at a slightly higher rate.

We have two Volvo fl10 tip trucks for hire capable of carting up to 13 Tonne of material to or from the job site with experienced drivers licensed and trained in the delivery of asphalt to a job site. These trucks are also used as floats each with tag along trailers capable of moving even our largest oversize machines safely. These vehicles are maintained to a very high standard and monitored closely by Allpave management.Crack Sealer
The crack sealer Heats up pre formed blocks of the bitumen material to extremely high temperatures which melts into a liquid form. This liquid is then applied by an electronically controlled hand lance onto the cracks. Once applied the material then cools and turns back into a solid form, sealing the crack from any further damage from water etc… We have used this machine for jobs such as sealing between new bridge deck beams in preparation for the asphalt layers and repairing air port runways in preparation for asphalt overlay. Machine is supplied with expert operators trained in the use of a crack sealing machine. A very strict maintenance regime is up held with all servicing kept in house and monitored closely by Allpave management.
