Pavement Preservation Techniques
Pavement preservation techniques are methods used to extend the life of roads without completely tearing them up and rebuilding. These include sealing cracks to prevent water damage, applying thin overlays to restore surface smoothness, and treating existing pavement with chemicals to strengthen it. The goal is to maintain road surfaces in good condition early on, saving money and reducing disruptions. Proper preservation helps delay costly full-scale repairs or repaving, maintaining safe and smooth roads for motorists while protecting infrastructure investments.
