AMS MAINTENANCE: HIGH PERFORMANCE CHIP SEAL

High Performance Chip Seal brings the oldest and most widely used pavement maintenance process (oil and chip) into the 21st century. The advancements in equipment combined with utilizing high quality materials and placement by trained quality craftsman is why this process is truly “High Performance”.

Hard, durable, cubical and single size aggregate is utilized, this allows for a 30% higher asphalt application rate which provides a superior seal, the ability for the surface to be swept within 24 hours and a longer lasting more user friendly product.

Immediately after the surface is swept Grip Tight Fog Seal can be applied. This highly polymerized hard asphalt locks down the aggregate and provides the appearance of a paved street with homeowner and traveling public acceptance.

BENEFITS OF HIGH PERFORMANCE CHIP SEAL

• Higher asphalt application rate provides longer life cycle
• Sweeping and removal of excess aggregate can be completed within 24 hours of placement
• Superior sealing / waterproofing of the pavement
• Can be installed on higher ADT roads and residential streets without complaints
• Surface macro texture is highly skid resistant and aesthetically pleasing
• Specification provides owners with a tool to eliminate the problems associated with conventional Chip Seal specs and the problems with poor quality contractors
• Pavement markings can be installed within 48 hours reducing liabilities
• Open texture created by cubical single size aggregate allows for an inexpensive future maintenance of a Grip Tight Fog Seal to be applied
• Able to be utilized as a SAMI (Stress Absorbing Membrane Interlayer)
