Preservation of asphalt pavements
Keep an eye on the condition of the asphalt pavement
It is important to keep an eye on the conditions of the asphalt pavement. If damages are identified in time, it is possible to seal the asphalt pavement. Therefore, rember to:
- Repair smaller cracks and holes as soon as possible
- Clean up verges and make sure the pavement is drained
- Prepare for sealing before damages increase.
Take at look at the video and see how we extended the life of asphalt pavements for our Irish colleagues.
How we do it
When sealing asphalt pavements, we follow a number of work procedures:
- We clean and seal minor cracks
- We carry out a test in order to estimate how the solution will penetrate the pavement and to determine the mix proportion
- When we spray, the solution instantly penetrates the asphalt
- Areas with extra need, are sprayed by hand
- Areas that need extra are hand sprayed
- We protect areas that are not supposed to be sealed.
When is the optimal time to seal asphalt pavements?
The most optimal time for sealing is:
- When 30% of the stones in the top layer is visible
- When stone loss takes on
- Before the asphalt pavement is seriously damaged
- When your SMA is more than 2 years old.
