Seal treatments

A new VDOT study shows its existing chip seal and microsurfacing specs perform as well as updated ones in field trials. The key to pavement preservation isn’t always new specs—but consistent execution.

Jackson, WY used RePlay soy-based seal to restore in‑place binder by over 5 % at 1.25 inches depth—boosting flexibility and repaving performance.

Lightweight ESCS aggregates deliver high friction, long-lasting chip seals while cutting hauling and vehicle damage costs.

ODOT’s micro surfacing project at Maumee Bay State Park showcased two advanced treatments—eFlex and AMISEAL—for preserving 15-year-old pavement, with eFlex offering enhanced durability and both methods providing a cost-effective, environmentally friendly solution to extend pavement life while ensuring year-round safety.

G P Roadway Solutions (GPRS) completed a seal coating project for pavement preservation in Honolulu’s West Loch residential streets under an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, ensuring traffic safety, quality application, and extended asphalt lifespan by 5–7 years.
