What is Slurry Sealing?
Slurry sealing is a road maintenance technique used to extend the life of asphalt pavement surfaces. It involves the application of a mixture known as slurry, which typically consists of asphalt emulsion, aggregate (usually fine-sized), mineral filler, and water. The slurry is spread evenly over the existing road surface to seal and protect it.
Our Slurry Sealing Process
01
SURFACE PREPARATION
Cleaning: The first step is to clean the asphalt surface thoroughly. This involves removing dirt, debris, vegetation, and any other materials that may be present on the pavement. Cleaning can be done using sweepers, blowers, or pressure washers.
Repairing Cracks: Prior to seal coating, any existing cracks or potholes in the pavement should be repaired. This may involve filling cracks with a suitable crack filler material and patching any areas of significant damage.
02
PAVEMENT REPAIRS
Crack Sealing: Cracks in the asphalt are typically filled with a hot rubberized sealant to prevent water infiltration and further damage. This step is essential for maintaining the integrity of the pavement.
Pothole Patching: If there are potholes or other surface irregularities, they are patched and leveled to create a smooth and even surface.
03
SLURRY SEAL APPLICATION
Mixing Sealant: The seal coating material is prepared by mixing it according to manufacturer specifications. Sealants may come in various formulations, including coal tar-based or asphalt-based sealers.
Application: The sealant is applied evenly over the entire surface using a specialized applicator, such as a squeegee or a spray system. Care is taken to ensure uniform coverage.
04
CURING & DRYING
Drying Time: After the seal coat is applied, it needs sufficient time to cure and dry. The drying time can vary depending on the type of sealant used and environmental conditions. It is essential to follow the manufacturer's recommendations regarding drying times.
Outside Elements: It's important to note that weather conditions, such as temperature and humidity, can influence the seal coating process. Contractors often schedule seal coating jobs during favorable weather to ensure proper application and curing.
OUR HIGHLIGHTS
Benefits of Asphalt Slurry Sealing:
Protection From UV Rays
Surry sealing acts as a barrier against ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, which can cause the asphalt to deteriorate over time.
Prevention Of Water Damage
Slurry sealing helps to waterproof the pavement, preventing water penetration into the underlying layers. This is crucial for preventing cracks and potholes.
Resistance To Chemicals
The coating provides resistance against oil, gasoline, and other chemicals, reducing the risk of damage to the asphalt.
Enhanced Aesthetics
Slurry sealing gives the pavement a fresh, dark appearance, improving its overall aesthetics. This can contribute to a more appealing and well-maintained property.
Ease Of Maintenance
Slurry sealing makes it easier to clean and maintain the pavement. It provides a smooth surface that can be swept or cleaned more effectively.
Increased Trackion & Safety
Slurry sealing can improve the skid resistance of the pavement, providing better traction for vehicles and pedestrians.
This enhanced traction contributes to increased safety, especially during wet or icy conditions. It helps reduce the likelihood of slips and skids, making the surface safer for both drivers and pedestrians.
