About Swank Milling and Our Services
Highway profiling, rotomilling, cold planing of highway surfaces are terms all used to describe the process of reshaping roadways up to a depth of 13 inches in one pass. In the early 1970s, Swank Construction bought the second Rotomill ever produced from CMI. Today, Swank is the premier road milling contractor in Pittsburgh, PA, Boston, MA and throughout the Eastern United States. This reputation has evolved not only by pioneering the industry since its infancy, but also by tackling some of the most challenging projects in both asphalt and concrete removal. With the micro-milling specification at a high demand, Swank Construction has the equipment to get the job done from our 7′ micro mills to our 4′ micro mills perfect for parking lots.
We have built this expert asphalt and concrete milling reputation through years of meeting the market demands, on time and with experienced and well-trained employees. We use brands like Wirtgen, Peterbilt, Talbert and Reading. The best milling tools allow us the advantage of superior performance with limited to no downtime.
