roadway infrastructure throughout the year. Using MicroPaverTM (a Windows based
database), various levels of degradation with various applications of materials are
addressed. Listed below are the proposals for this year:
1. Slurry Seal: (Type 2, polymer modified w/ 1/4" rock) Surface treatment of
streets with high oxidation caused by ultraviolet radiation. Rejuvenates and
water proofs the surface, adds some skid resistance. Extends the life of
newer asphalt. (target PCI 65-85)
2. Chip Seal: (polymer modified 3/8" rock & surface sealed) Course surface
treatment for streets that require high skid resistance, UV protection,
waterproofing and crack filling. Extends the life of all asphalt. (target PCI
65-85)
3. Patching: Full depth replacement of badly alligatored, pot holed or
damaged asphalt. Required repair of small areas before Chip Seal or Slurry
Seal. May be combined with adjacent drainage repairs.
4. Overlay. A structural asphalt repaving that reestablishes the integrity of the
road that was lost due to water damage, excessive axle loads, poor sub -
grade or construction. This repaving is usually 1.5" (minimum) depending on
the level -of -wear criteria. (target PCI <60)
