Micro Paving
The Problem
Even the toughest thoroughfare loses its ideal surface texture under the constant flow of high-volume traffic. Ruts develop and pavements become slick and dangerous. When left untreated, the safety of drivers and passengers may be compromised. When pavements are not protected early in their life cycle, the cost to repair road structures can quickly become exorbitant.THE SOLUTION
Suit-Kote’s Micro-Paving offers a cost-effective and long-lasting remedy for worn, high-volume pavement surfaces. A quick-set, polymer-modified overlay removes rutting and provides a durable, uniform, and skid resistant wearing surface.OPTIMUM APPLICATION
- Ideal for high-volume interstates, state highways, county roads, city streets, airport runways, and military installations
- Utilized to correct mild rutting without additional crowning or surface buildup
- Applications requiring ultra-thin overlays or roads where curb reveal needs to be maintained
- Manholes, catch basins, water valves, and other structures within the roadway do not require height adjustment
THE BENEFITS
- Lower material cost delivering more savings per square yard than any other surface overlay
- Able to withstand temperature variations
- Optimum adherence to existing pavement
- Durable overlay fills ruts, preserves grade and curb reveal, and eliminates crowning and buildup
- Minimizes need for utility adjustments
- Quick-set process minimizes traffic delays and detours
- Low energy requirements and environmentally friendly
- Meets and exceeds federal, state, and FAA specifications
- Applicable in dry weather condition temperatures as low as 45°F
- No rolling required under normal conditions
- Improves long-term skid resistance
- Turnkey process
THE PROCESS
- On-site inspection and laboratory design of system
- Micro-Paving overlay custom mixed to job-specific conditions
- Quick-set system that is traffic-ready in minutes
- Surface preparation includes crackfilling and protection of utilities
- Variable width paving screed controls allow side-to-side and vertical adjustment to accommodate surface variations
- Pavement buildup minimized with smooth center line and edge feathered to existing surface
