Asphalt Paving

Asphalt pavement is utilized in a variety of different applications because of its durability, cost-effectiveness, simplicity of construction, and strength. It is the material of choice for parking lots across the nation because asphalt withstands heavier loads and when combined with proper asphalt maintenance, lasts for many years.

Asphalt Repair & Patching

Asphalt Overlay

Any asphalt surface is only as good as its sub-base. When the sub-base breaks down your asphalt will follow quickly. These repairs are often the most expensive but, can be avoided with proper installation and maintenance of your asphalt. In some cases drain tile may be needed to divert existing underground water from running under your parking and destroying your sub-base.

As asphalt ages and extends past its designed life cycle, it will become necessary to install a new layer of asphalt that will extend the "wear life" of your asphalt surface; this process is called asphalt overlay.

Asphalt Milling / Paving

Some existing asphalt surfaces can not simply be overlaid. If pavements are old and already have several layers of asphalt installed or are severely pot-holed and functionally unsound, they might need to be milled prior to re-paving. In some cases a portion of the pavement detail may need removed, rebuilt, and repaved.

Full Depth Repairs

Patching is a common asphalt repair on areas of pavement through unsealed or improperly sealed cracks. When the water freezes, it expands and enlarges the crack. When the ice under the pavement melts, a void is left. Surrounding pavement falls into the void and forms a pothole.

Sealcoating is one of the most important elements of a pavement management plan. A sealcoat consists of either coal tar pitch or asphalt cement mixed with inert fillers, water, emulsifying agents, or additives. Applied in thin coats, pavement sealing is used to protect off-highway pavement surfaces against gasoline, oil, salt, water, and ultraviolet rays.

Crack sealing is used as a first defense against pavement deterioration because it offers several important benefits. Effective crack sealing keeps water from entering and weakening the base or sub-base. It helps preserve the pavement adjacent to the cracks; prevents and stone, and dirt from making its way into open cracks causing compressive stresses; and extends pavement life by minimizing crack growth.

Proper attention to cracks will prevent problems from spreading and double the life of the pavement. Pavement repair in the early stages of deterioration will pay big dividends later by delaying costly resurfacing.

Crack Types

Hot Crack Repair
We only use DOT specified hot crack repair materials and methods.
For Residential, Commercial, Industrial

Permits water, salt, fuel, oil and ultraviolet rays to penetrate asphalt and into base leading to greater damage, unless repaired properly.

Open Cracks

We specialize in filling asphalt cracks. Our process provides a lasting preventive barrier that seals out the damaging elements while remaining pliable through the year.

GUARDIAN CRACK REPAIR SYSTEM

Please take a minute to visit Premier Courts / The Guardian Crack Repair System's website www.guardiancrackrepair.com for a complete description and information.

Brewer Cote is a highly concentrated coal tar emulsion pavement sealer. Brewer Cotes higher solids content allows for greater dilution to achieve the same solids on the pavement as conventional concentrate sealers. Brewer Cote exhibits outstanding wear resistance and is highly resistant to gasoline, oil and ultraviolet light, providing superior protection for asphalt pavement surfaces. Brewer Cote meets or exceeds all composition and performance requirements of ASTM Specification D5727 (Formerly Federal Specification RP-355)

Coal Tar Emulsion Pavement Sealer

Brewer Cote

Qualified contractor for Jennite, which is used in anation

Product Description
Jennite is a premium quality pavement coating composed of refined coal tar that is fortified with rubber prior to emulsification. The resulting high solids product can be applied with no dilution. In addition, Jennite contains a unique surfactant formulation which allows greater compatability with asphalt surfaces.

Color
Jennite is a dark brown emulsion. When dry, Jennite is coal black.

Basic Uses:
Jennite extends the service life and reduces maintenance costs of off-street asphalt pavements. Jennite protects such pavements from the destructive effects of water, sunlight, oxidation, gasoline, motor oil, and many other chemicals and solvents. In addition, Jennite provides a distinctive new-looking surface that is skid resistant, long lasting and easy to clean.

This type of crack appears primarily in resurfacing projects, although it can also occur in a new pavement. It happens when an existing crack or joint in the underlying pavement structure reflects upward through the surface.

Reflective

Visually, this type of cracking forms a square pattern, with cracks intersecting each other at nearly right angles. A common cause of this on parking lots is lack of traffic, (steady traffic constantly kneads the pavement and keeps

Block

Unlike the previous types, edge cracks appear only parallel to and within 18 inches of the edge of the pavement. Causes include poor base, lack of shoulder support, poor drainage, or frost action.

Edge

Pavement "joints" are created during initial construction when the edges of two pavement mats are placed next to one another. These constructed joints usually have a lower density of asphalt than that of the surrounding pavement. If the mats don't bond properly (for a variety of reasons), joint cracks appear.

Joint

Slippage cracks are usually crescent-shaped and caused by heavy traffic that is stopping, turning, or climbing a hill. Resultant stresses cause a bond failure between the upper and lower pavement layers. The open end of the U-shaped crack always points in the direction of the applied force.

Slippage

Over time, a flexible asphalt pavement becomes more rigid and is less able to tolerate vertical deflections. This causes tension in the pavement and results in alligator-type cracking. Such cracking can also occur from structural inadequacy, aging and oxidation.

It is generally recommended that alligator areas be removed and replaced rather than filled or sealed.
