Ergon Asphalt & Emulsions, Inc.

Today we are discussing the different fog seal treatment options that #ErgonAsphalt offers. A fog seal is a pavement preservation technique that involves applying a thin layer of diluted asphalt emulsion to seal cracks and prevent water and air from entering the pavement, thereby extending its lifespan. Ergon Asphalt offers the following fog seal options to extend the life of your roadways: - Conventional Fog Seal: the most widely used for minor surface preservation. - High-Performance Fog Seal: offers improved durability with faster traffic return and trackless properties while locking down aggregate on new chip seals. - Rejuvenating Fog Seal: restores flexibility and essential properties that are lost due to aging while sealing to extend pavement life. Each fog seal option provides distinct advantages depending on the pavement's condition and maintenance goals. Stay tuned to see an in-depth look at each of these products in the following weeks or visit our website to view our variety of treatment options. https://lnkd.in/eTzXTu3G

“Micro surfacing saved us approximately $2.3 million and allowed us to upgrade the parking in a rest area. We expect to get at least eight or more years of service from this project,” said Lyndi Blackburn, P.E., with the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT). A section of U.S. 82 in Chilton County, Alabama, was oxidized and experiencing rutting due to heavy truck traffic. Based on results from a successful 2019 project on another section of U.S. 82, the ALDOT ­– Tuscaloosa Division determined micro surfacing was the best choice for addressing the distresses along U.S. 82 in Chilton County. By utilizing micro surfacing, ALDOT was able to save millions, allowing them to refurbish a well-used rest area adjacent to the project.
