Pavement Restoration
Asphalt deterioration begins at the surface. Weather and sun damage the surface layer of pavement causing it to become dry and brittle. Left untreated, the pavement will continue to breakdown resulting in cracking and moisture intrusion. If left unaddressed, water intrusion will eventually lead to total pavement failure.
From minor crack repairs to complete rehabilitation, we know how to improve the Pavement at every stage in their life cycle and keep them looking and performing better over the long term.
A good pavement management/preventative maintenance plan will save you money over the life cycle of your paved roads. Instituting lower cost proven maintenance measures at the top of the pavement deterioration curve will save you spending much higher costs for costly repair/replacement.
CRF® Restorative Seal
CRF® Restorative Seal is a modified asphalt emulsion with select petroleum resins that restore, and seal aged bituminous concrete pavement. Proven and tested for over 40 years, CRF®`s formulation addresses specific pavement conditions and is ideal for oxidized and weathered pavement that still retains its structural integrity.
CRF® Restorative Seal penetrates and rejuvenates aged asphalt to extend your pavement life up to 5 years without pavement buildup. CRF® holds the cover material (sand and/or select aggregates) and fills surface voids with a very flexible product that traffic continues to knead and work into the pavement surface. All this achieved at costs much lower than typical resurfacing methods.
Reclamite® Preservative Seal
Reclamite® Preservative Seal is a rejuvenating maltene based penetrating seal that can extends road life about 3-5 years, by restoring the plasticity and durability in the asphalt. Water intrusion into the pavement, ultraviolet damage and other aging factors can cause raveling and oxidation of the pavement, which impacts its service life. A Reclamite®`s Preservative Seal replaces the maltene fractions lost through weathering and high temperatures reached during the manufacturing process. Reclamite® penetrates the asphalt and seals out water and UV while inhibiting raveling and oxidation by replacing the flexibility of the pavement and restoring its binding strength.
The use of Reclamite® Preservative Seal provides a more economical method of rehabilitating older pavements than either total replacement, conventional seal coats or overlays.
