Pavement Preservation and Maintenance
Private Roads Maintenance Workshop August 18, 2012
Pavement Maintenance Types
• Preventive (Proactive)– Preserves good condition pavement
• Arrest light deterioration• Retard progressive failures• Reduce need for corrective maintenance
• Corrective (Reactive)– After deficiency occurs;
more expensive• Load carrying ability• Waterproofing (cracks)• Surface slope (rutting)• Surface roughness
Pavement Preservation Techniques
Micro-Surfacing
Crack Seal Fog Seal
Thin HMA Overlay
Slurry Seal
Ultrathin Bonded Wearing Course
(for Flexible / Asphalt Pavements)
Crack Sealing
• Routine maintenance• Cleaning & sealing• Prevents intrusion of
water & incompressible materials

Surface Treatments
• Typically used to:• Seal cracks• Waterproof surface• Improve surface texture• Rejuvenate surface
Fog Seal
• Seal pavement• Inhibit raveling• Enrich hardened/
oxidized asphalt• Provide delineation
with shoulder

Slurry Seal
• Type I (small aggregate)– Seal surface
cracks• Type II (medium
aggregate)– Correct raveling/
oxidation• Type III (larger aggregate)
– Fill minor surface irregularities and restore surface texture

• Inhibit raveling & surface oxidation
• Improve surface texture• Fill ruts/minor surface

Ultrathin Bonded Wearing Course
• Porous• Firmly bond to existing surface• Seal pavement• Increase surface
macro-texture• Address surface distress• Reduce back-spray
improving visibility
Thin Overlay
• Improve smoothness and surface texture
• Address surface distress• Improve profile, crown,
and cross-slope
