Asphalt Preservation
Asphalt preservation treatments can be applied to asphalt surface infrastructure to preserve and extend the life of key assets such as Runways, Taxiways, Aprons, Motorway Networks, Roads and Carparks.
Asphalt Preservation
LAML undertakes preservation treatments to asphalt surfaces with proven materials to protect pavements’ bituminous binder essential to ensure strength, durability and flexibility.
These specialised treatments safeguard the existing surfacing by sealing in essential oils and resins - ensuring the surfacing material retains its flexibility and does not succumb to weathering and become brittle. When an asphalt surface becomes brittle it causes aggregate loss, which in turn, causes potholes and FOD.
Pavement preservation treatments, with regular use, not only halt the formation of potholes through aggregate loss but also improves the binding and waterproofing properties of the asphalt surfaces. Preservation application is very quick, making it an ideal treatment for assets requiring minimal downtime and maximum availability.
The process is also incredibly quiet, which makes it perfect for overnight applications to all road surfaces, rural, motorway, pedestrianised areas and cities, as well as airport asphalt infrastructure.
LAML are happy to carry out a no-obligation site inspection for suitability for an asphalt preservation treatment and to discuss your needs.
Glasgow Prestwick Airport Asphalt Preservation
LAML was contracted by Glasgow Prestwick Airport to provide quick and cost-effective maintenance to slow down FOD creation on a couple of their serviceable, but ageing asphalt aprons.
LAML was on site undertaking an effective, minimally disruptive life-extending asset maintenance project with asphalt preservation followed by overbanding the most open cracks in their ageing apron surface.
Cambridge Airport Preservation
In September 2021, LAML was contracted by Marshall Aerospace Group to undertake a life extending asphalt preservation treatment to Charlie Taxiway. Our client was seeking a maintenance solution to extend the longevity and serviceable life of this vital asset for at least a further 5 years.
All activities undertaken at the airport need to be minimally disruptive, able to be undertaken out of hours with minimal noise pollution.
