Keeping Pavement Joints Tight and Surfaces Sound Why Joint Resealing and Spall Repair Matter Concrete pavements depend on tight, watertight joints and sound slab edges to deliver long service life. When sealants fail or joint faces spall, water and incompressibles infiltrate the slab support system,…

Water is the silent saboteur of pavement systems. Long before potholes, pop-outs, or rutting appear on the surface, moisture is busy stripping asphalt binders from aggregate, wedging ice crystals into concrete capillaries, and eroding the structural integrity that keeps our roads and parking lots so…

When a pavement distress shows up, the clock is ticking: water will keep infiltrating, loads will keep pounding, and small flaws will morph into costly rebuilds. Choosing the right patching method, matched to the failure’s cause, extent, traffic level, and climate, reclaims service life effici…
