Darwin Road Profiling
F & J Bitumen Services provides profiling services in the Northern Territory. Our profiling work consists of a Bobcat with a machine attached to the front, which allows us to dig out bitumen on the road. This is often a necessity for road works or other surface projects.
We use road profiling to properly prepare damaged or uneven bitumen for repair or resurfacing. At F & J Bitumen Services, we work across Darwin and surrounding areas to help clients create a clean, even base for new surfaces. Whether you’re resurfacing a street, patching worn areas, or reworking a commercial driveway, our equipment and crew are ready to get the groundwork sorted so your project can move ahead smoothly.
Need help preparing a surface for new work? Give us a call on 08 8988 9791 to book road profiling or discuss your site needs.
Solid Foundations Start Here
A good surface starts with proper prep, and that’s exactly what profiling is for. It’s the step that removes damaged bitumen, levels uneven patches, and clears the way for better adhesion of new material.
Using specialised attachments and machines, we dig out and remove the worn layers without disturbing the foundation underneath. It’s a clean, efficient way to get roads, car parks, and driveways ready for sealing, patching, or resurfacing.
Whether you’re working alone or coordinating with other contractors, we make it easy to slot profiling into your project timeline and get the job moving.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is road profiling and why is it necessary?
Road profiling is the process of removing the top layer of damaged or uneven bitumen to prepare the surface for repair or resurfacing. It’s essential for achieving a level, stable base that allows new material to bond properly. Without profiling, resurfaced roads may crack or lift prematurely.
When should road profiling be used?
Profiling is typically used before resurfacing or patching damaged sections of a road or driveway. It’s also helpful when levelling out areas that have settled unevenly or developed potholes. If the bitumen is worn but the underlying base is still intact, profiling is a cost-effective prep solution.
What equipment is used for profiling?
Profiling is often done with a skid steer or Bobcat fitted with a rotating drum cutter or milling attachment. This machine grinds and lifts the bitumen surface without affecting the underlying structure, making it ideal for targeted or large-scale prep work.
