Professional application of specialised bituminous treatments including tack coats and prime seals ensures optimal bonding between pavement layers and supports long-term performance. Our experienced crews understand proper material selection, application rates, and timing to prevent delamination, slippage, and premature cracking. We coordinate application with paving operations, protect treated surfaces from contamination, and ensure proper cure periods for maximum bonding strength.
Tack coat services use properly selected CRS emulsion applied at controlled rates, ensuring optimal bonding without slippage. We calibrate spray equipment for consistent coverage, protect surfaces from overspray, and coordinate timing for proper cure.
Prime seal application protects unbound granular bases from moisture damage and creates bonding between dissimilar materials through appropriate material selection, controlled application achieving proper penetration, surface protection, and coordination ensuring optimal bonding conditions.
Successful bituminous treatment requires careful weather attention. We monitor forecasts continuously, schedule applications during appropriate temperature windows, protect surfaces from rain before cure, and adjust techniques based on ambient conditions to ensure performance.
Treated surfaces must remain clean until paving commences. Protocols include immediate traffic exclusion, protection from debris and contamination, coordination with trades to prevent disturbance, and pre-paving inspection to address any contamination issues maintaining effectiveness.
