Microsurfacing is a polymer modified cold mix paving system formulated to
remedy a broad range of problems on today's streets and highways. This
product is an essential tool for any pavement management arsenal.
Pioneered in the early 1970's, Microsurfacing was introduced in 1980.
Florida Highway Products began Microsurfacing in 1991 and has since
micro surfaced many, many miles. Advancements in materials and technology
have made Microsurfacing one of the most cost effective resurfacing materials
available. It begins with the selection of the highest quality material - asphalt,
polymer modified emulsion, high friction aggregate, additives and water. Florida
Highway Products manufactures the polymer modified microsurfacing
emulsion which gives exceptional control over quality. All ingredients must
pass stringent laboratory tests to conform exactly to the engineered mix
design and job mix formula.
Microsurfacing creates a new, stable surface that is resistant to rutting and
shoving. Because Microsurfacing can be applied effectively at an average
thickness of 3/8”, more area per ton of mix is covered, resulting in
cost effective resurfacing. Microsurfacing provides texture corrections where
the road surface is too rough or too smooth, thus eliminating hydroplaning and
increasing skid resistance. Ruts up to 1-1/2" can be filled with Microsurfacing
without milling. We have the ability to apply this product in a wide range of
temperatures and weather conditions. Night applications on heavy traffic streets
and highways are particularly suitable.
Microsurfacing has been used on some of the heaviest traveled roadways in
the country, including the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge, Long Island
Expressway and Interstate 285 in Atlanta, Georgia. Continuous load pavers
utilize support units which bring materials to the job site and load the machine
while it is working, thus maximizing production and minimizing transverse joints.
These pavers can lay three miles per day with no long traffic delays. Roadways
often reopened to traffic within one hour. |
