Prolong, Protect, Preserve

To prolong asphalt pavement performance, to protect scarce resources & to preserve the quality of your pavements, you need to acquire professional contractors with a familiarity of the types of materials available, their strengths and their intended purpose.  These professionals need to be experts in application methods, compaction techniques and maintenance procedures.  They need to implement cost effective pavement strategies with engineered solutions that address the problems faced by the facility and property owners and managers.

Unfortunately, in some instances professional contractors with the necessary expertise are not used, leaving those who own or manage these pavements with many questions;

• Has the geographical location and the impact of the environment been considered?
• Has the correct product been selected for the intended use?
• Have the correct raw materials been used?
• Does the asphalt supplier have a quality system in place?
• Is the contractor experienced and qualified to do the work?
• Is the pavement thick enough for the intended purpose?
• Has the traffic loading been considered?
• Is the drainage designed to ensure no build up of water in the base?
• What is the condition of the pavement?
• Can these pavement failures cause an accident?
• What repairs are needed?
• When are they needed?
• What materials should be used?
• Is the pavement safe for pedestrians and vehicles?
• How much will it cost?
• How do I know which contractor to use?
• How do I know if the contractor is using the correct materials?

Prolong, Protect, Preserve Experience Counts!

Asphalt manufacture & paving is a highly specialised business. Experienced advice, knowledge and guidance is the key to a quality asphalt product and a long-lasting asphalt pavement.
Many factors contribute to the quality, performance, and the life of an asphalt pavement. The design, the planning, the budgets, the scheduling, the material manufacturer, material transportation, the contractors, placement techniques, compaction, quality control, project supervision, ongoing maintenance, etc.
