ASPHALT PRESERVATION SERVICE
Asphalt Preservation Services for cost-effective, quick, and lasting pavement solutions
Treat from 5,000m2 up to 30,000m2 in a single shift
Our asphalt preservation service involves the spray application of tough abrasion resistant natural bitumen binder onto a suitable road surface, typically one to two years before reactive maintenance becomes necessary – determined from local knowledge of surface course life.
ASPHALT PRESERVATION
The spray application results in a very hard wearing hydrophobic barrier membrane that seals the road surface. It penetrates several millimetres into the asphalt surface effectively grouting micro-cracks and sealing interconnecting voids to provide a strong key, giving a durable seal to prevent water ingress and slow down further oxidization due to weathering and uv degradation.
The solution is best utilised as a preventative maintenance measure as part of a long term asset management strategy, extending the operational life of the pavement and delaying the large costs of resurfacing and repair works.

HOW ASPHALT PRESERVATION WORKS?
Site selection for preservation services?
Resilient routes in suitable condition* including high hierarchy routes where the surface dressing is not a preferred or viable option. Also suited to treating difficult sites e.g. roundabouts, estate roads etc
• Motorways and trunk roads
• Urban and country roads
• Car parks
• Bridges
• Airfields
• Storage containers
• Estate roads
PRESERVATION HELPS COMPLIANCE
Delivery of a safe and well maintained highway network relies on good evidence and sound engineering judgement. The UK Roads Liaison Group produced the Well-Managed Highway Infrastructure: A Code Of Practice with the intention that Authorities will develop their own levels of service and the Code therefore provides guidance for authorities to consider when developing their approach in accordance with local needs, priorities and affordability.
The following recommendations from the Code are of particular relevance to the benefits of asphalt preservation and how it assists authorities to be compliant with the Code.
