LARGE-AREA ASPHALT SEALER

Asphalt sealant is a cost-effective and efficient method of pavement preservation. One of the main causes of deterioration of an asphalt surface is the dryness of the aggregates, resulting in oxidation. In asphalt (a mixture of gravel, sand and bitumen), bitumen is used to maintain the membrane’s elasticity and waterproofing properties. It’s when the asphalt loses its dark black color and turns pale gray that the oxidation phenomenon can be observed. This results in “evaporation” of the bitumen. The lack of bitumen will quickly cause cracks due to the lack of flexibility, as well as spalling of the asphalt layer.

The application of a bitumen-based sealer will restore the asphalt to its original appearance and bitumen concentration. It’s a low-cost way of optimizing the life of a parking lot by restoring it to its original aesthetic condition.
Did you know? The cost of an asphalt treatment represents approximately 4% to 6% of the cost of installing new asphalt (paving).

For asphalt repair without excavation, a layer of asphalt mix is applied over an adhesive that holds in place on the old asphalt. Often used to correct potholes, unevenness or valleys at lower cost. Advantageous in certain situations. The company also handles excavation and paving work. By offering services related to asphalt repair, Solution pavage is able to bid on larger-scale projects.

Different types of asphalt mix are used, depending on the asphalt repair required. The correction layer, on the other hand, needs to be finer-grained. For repairs involving asphalt cutting, a slightly coarser grain is chosen to blend in well with the old asphalt.
