A Tradition of Integrity and Innovative Paving Technology

Microsurfacing

All asphalt pavement is subject to continuous wear and tear caused by aging, weather and traffic. One of the best ways to prolong the life of these pavements and provide a safer traveling surface is through Microsurfacing.

From rural roads to busy residential streets and interstates, Microsurfacing is one of the fastest growing pavement maintenance practices available around the world. Microsurfacing applies a durable, polymer-modified asphalt seal to roads that have begun to show signs of aging and minor distress. The Microsurfacing application helps to slow the natural breakdown of the existing road surface and can extend the lifespan of the road by several years.

Applied with specially-designed and calibrated machines, Microsurfacing covers the existing pavement quickly and precisely. Mixing and spreading of the microsurfacing materials is accomplished in a single, continuous operation, minimizing the disruption of traffic. The unique blend of asphalt polymers and quick-setting asphalt emulsion allows for the road to be re-opened to traffic literally minutes after the Microsurface is applied.

Microsurfacing can also be applied in lifts to eliminate minor surface irregularities in the road and for leveling minor wheel ruts. It is used regularly to make roads safe by improving the skid resistant characteristics of worn, smooth pavement. With a seven-to-ten year lifespan, Microsurfacing has become one of the most cost-effective and comprehensive pavement maintenance practices available.
