Process

10 + 3 = 13

Resurface 13 miles with a budget that only covers 10 miles using heater scarification—an in-place road surface rehabilitation process that restores cracked, brittle, and irregular, worn asphalt pavement in preparation for a final thin wearing course as selected by the awarding authority.

Any roadways that possess a stable and structurally adequate base are appropriate candidates for this process—many of your proposed projects may be perfectly suitable. Contact us, as the depth and nature of the existing materials must be evaluated prior to construction.

The Heater Scarification Process

  1. Two machines operate in tandem to deep-heat and soften the existing aged worn pavement surface.
  2. Application of a rejuvenating agent improves the viscosity of the aged asphalt.
  3. Multiple rows of spring loaded ‘scarifiers’ penetrate the softened asphalt to the desired depth.
  4. A full-width set of augers re-distributes the rejuvenated mix.
  5. The rejuvenated, recycled surface course aggregate is uniformly leveled with a conventional paving screed in preparation for an overlay or seal coat.
