Asphalt Preservation is a preemptive strategy that lengthens the life of our highways and interstates by using timely, cost-effective preservation processes.

The elements, traffic and everyday wear and tear have declared war on our highway and interstate networks since the first day they opened. Did you know that FHWA data shows average pavement service life before reconstruction activity is only 8.5 years? Consider this, up to 80% of pavement flexibility has escaped in just five short years and the aging process has gained enough momentum to cause significant irreversible damage! Before you realize it your pavement network is in need of a (cash) infusion just to keep it alive. You should be asking, "How do I postpone or delay this from happening to my asphalt pavement?" Our reply; "Preserve the binder immediately, before the damage occurs!"

Here at Gee we understand how highway and interstate pavements deteriorate and quickly age, and we are experts at getting things under control from the very beginning. So the right answer... preservation should begin immediately or as soon as plausible after construction is complete.

We all instinctively know that spending a few dollars spent up front can save money in days to come. But when it comes to applying that principle to one of our most expensive assets "our highway and interstate networks", we somehow lose site of this basic truth. In addition, many fear that by adding preventive maintenance costs to the construction cost of asphalt pavements will make it more expensive than concrete. In fact, real world life-cycle costing proves the opposite is true.

Here at Gee, we understand problems specific to streets, roads and highways and our expert team will help direct you around the potholes toward a lower cost, budget friendly strategy that will fit your situation and the needs of your network of pavements. When the numbers are all laid bare you'll discover that a pavement preservation program will make asphalt pavement the choice over concrete as the lowest cost alternative every time.

Asphalt Preservation:

• Keeps the good pavements good.
• Repairs surface damage and halts the aging process.
• Avoids excessive down time and closures.
• Saves you money!

Examples of preventive treatments include:

• Asphalt crack sealing
• Sealer Binders
• Fog sealing
• Chip sealing
• Slurry or micro-surfacing
• Hot mix asphalt overlay
• Isolated and partial and/or full-depth repairs to restore functionality of the asphalt pavement.
