REPAVE Meaning and Definition

  1. Repave is a transitive verb that refers to the act of renovating or restoring a road, pathway, or any paved surface that has deteriorated over time or has been damaged. It involves removing the existing layer of asphalt or other materials and replacing it with a new one to improve its condition, safety, and functionality. Repaving is typically carried out by a professional road construction crew or maintenance team.

    The process of repaving entails several stages, starting with the evaluation of the road's condition to determine the extent of the damage and necessary repairs. Once the assessment is complete, the damaged areas are usually milled or excavated to remove the old pavement thoroughly. Next, a fresh layer of asphalt or other appropriate materials is laid and compacted, ensuring a smooth and even surface. Repaving may also involve other related tasks such as updating drainage systems, installing road markings, and ensuring compliance with local regulations.

    Repaving is commonly done to prevent further degradation, reduce the risk of accidents, and enhance the overall appearance of the paved surface. It may be necessary due to factors such as potholes, cracks, wear and tear, or damage caused by heavy traffic, extreme weather conditions, or construction works. Repaving projects are generally carried out on roads, parking lots, driveways, sidewalks, and other paved areas that require maintenance to ensure their durability, efficiency, and safety.

Common Misspellings for REPAVE

Etymology of REPAVE

The word "repave" is derived from the prefix "re-" meaning "again" or "back" and the verb "pave" which comes from the Latin word "pavire" meaning "to beat, to tread down". In Old English, "pave" meant to lay stones or road surface, while the prefix "re-" indicates the action of doing so again or renewing the paving. Thus, "repave" means to resurface or re-lay a road or path with paving materials.
