The detrimental effects of the environment relentlessly attack asphalt binder in one of your most expensive assets, your pavement! As a result, every asphalt surface responds positively to preservation which we actively tailor to suit individual circumstances at your shopping center.
Here at Gee we know your specific problems and shopping center issues, such as tight budgets and keeping CAM at the absolute lowest possible level. That's where a good asphalt preservation strategy plays right into your ROI optimization strategy. Pavement asset preservation includes a planned system of inspection, analysis, and implementation of selected cost/performance oriented preservation processes.
But, did you know that FHWA data shows that for every $1 spent on preservation, up to $11 dollars in reduced future costs will occur? So, if you're not actively incorporating preservation into your program then you are spending up to $11 dollars more than you should be spending. Taking the analogy one step further, divide your present annual pavement rehabilitation and replacement expenditures by 11, that is what your budget might look like on a diet of preservation. Ultimately, this translates as a significant reduction of funds you have currently allocated to maintain your pavements with traditional worst first practices. Preservation is about the money left over in your pocket!
We are here to help by offering trained experts to survey your pavements and design a program that suits you and your situation. Some mistakenly fear that adding fractional preventive maintenance costs to the value of the pavement asset will make it more expensive than concrete. In fact life-cycle costing proves the opposite making asphalt the pavement of choice over much harder and more expensive to maintain concrete pavement. Today more than ever, asphalt preservation makes the most sense of any strategy.
Asphalt Preservation:
- Keeps the good pavements good.
- Repairs surface damage and halts the aging process.
- Avoids excessive down time and closures.
- Saves you money!
