Enhancing Pavement Service Life Through Proactive Micro-Surfacing Applications

According to the pavement preservation concept, it is vital to do the necessary preventative maintenance at the ideal timing to restore the serviceability and durability of the pavement. After being applied to the pavement, micro surfacing provides a smooth surface and good riding quality for a minimum of four years.
