Surface Treatment

The Problem

At the road surface, pavement oxidation begins immediately which opens the way for moisture penetration, thereby reducing service life.

THE SOLUTION

An assortment of custom blended High-Float emulsions provides enhanced stone retention, a surface which is less susceptible to climatic temperature changes, and a reduction in construction delays. National studies have shown that the sooner a pavement preservation technique is employed the longer the underlying pavement structure will last.

OPTIMUM APPLICATION

  • Most pavement surfaces – it can flex with frost-susceptible pavements

THE BENEFITS

  • Highly effective protection against oxidation and intrusion of surface moisture
  • Reduces damage caused by traffic and weather and improves skid resistance
  • Quick-set application process minimizes traffic delays
  • Attractive, homogenous appearance
  • Minimizes the need for continuous repair and postpones major reconstruction
  • Proven as one of the most cost-effective ways of preserving structurally sound pavements

THE PROCESS

  • Pavement inspection and evaluation
  • Aggregate selection and High-Float emulsion blended based on job requirements
  • Surface preparation: existing cracks and potholes filled
  • Even application of emulsion via fully automated and well-maintained distribution equipment
  • Uniform application of fine or coarse aggregates
  • Immediate rolling to properly seat/embed the aggregate and promote stone retention
  • Polymer modification also available for quicker stone retention
