There’s a large variety of appropriate pavement maintenance techniques that can be applied under specific circumstances, but it’s important to note that they can’t all be universally implemented. Following pavement preservation best practices involves examining the situation and the extent of the damage closely before deciding on the best course of action.
Routine Maintenance is essencial to road maintenance. As mentioned, routine maintenance simply entails keeping a close eye on your asphalt and inspecting it for any problems such as cracks, potholes, water damage, or oil stains, and remedying these problems as they occur and before they worsen.
Crack sealing is actually an another essential part of routine maintenance because it can prevent even small cracks from developing into potholes, which can lead to much costlier repairs.
Patching is a process that’s used to fill in potholes in order to prevent water from penetrating the surface of the asphalt and eroding it from the inside out.
Slurry sealing is a high-tech and concise process that involves mixing asphalt aggregate and an emulsion prior to applying both ingredients to the surface of the pavement. This helps to create a strong protective layer against potentially harmful external elements and climate conditions. Slurry seal is mainly applied to older roads and pavement to help stave off oxidation.
