Our effective preventative maintenance programs can extend the life and aesthetics ofyour parking lot, while maximizing pavement life and minimizing risk. Structural Maintenance is used when there are issues beyond the scope of general parking lot maintenance. These cases include pavement that displays severe surface raveling or large sections of alligator cracking is in need of structural improvement. Taking a proactive approach to maintaining your facility can effectively reduce potential liabilities and safety issues.
M & S Paving And Sealing implements Pavement Management Plans (PMP) for many of our customers. Taking a proactive approach to maintaining your facility can effectively reduce potential liabilities and safety issues. Our pavement maintenance planning process provides planning for routine maintenance rather than dealing with damage after it happens. A PMP is a powerful technique that not only stretches maintenance dollars, but it also operates based on the principle that the timing of the repair is as important as the repair procedure.
Because of its durability, cost-effectiveness, and simplicity of construction, asphalt pavement is the material of choice for parking lots across the nation. Asphalt withstands heavier loads and, when combined with proper asphalt maintenance, lasts for many years to come. Studies have shown that on average, over a 40-year period, asphalt pavements are more economical than concrete pavements. Putting in place a pavement management plan including inspections and preventative maintenance can maximize the life of your asphalt parking lot.
Crack sealing is your first defense against pavement deterioration because it offers several important benefits. Effective crack sealing keeps water from entering and weakening the base or subbase. It also helps preserve the pavement adjacent to the cracks; prevents sand, stone, and dirt from making its way into open cracks causing compressive stresses; and extends pavement life by minimizing crack growth. By paying proper attention to cracks, you can prevent problems from spreading and double the life of the pavement.
Structural Maintenance improves the structural capacity of a parking lot. It is used when there are issues beyond the scope of general parking lot maintenance. These cases include pavement that displays severe surface raveling or large sections of alligator cracking is in need of structural improvement. One of our most common structural maintenance repairs is asphalt resurfacing. The best chance for long-term performance of resurfacing is dependent on timing of the procedure and condition of the surface (base and subbase asphalt layers should be intact).
It is essential to maximizing the life of your asphalt with proper preventative parking lot maintenance. It is also the most cost-effective solution to maximize pavement life while minimizing risk. Effective preventative maintenance should begin as soon as the pavement shows signs of wear and tear. These signs include raveling, transverse cracks, and longitudinal cracks. We have years of experience with crack filling, asphalt patching repairs, and sealcoating. Our expert technicians use state of the art equipment and the highest quality materials to help ensure your asphalt preventative maintenance project is done right and on time.
Concrete is one of the most important construction materials used in a variety of site structures including parking lots, parking garages, walkways, curbs, gutters, dumpster pads, parking bumpers, catch basins, and walls and ramps. M & S Paving And Sealing has more than 30 years experience maintaining and repairing these structures. When mixed properly, concrete provides excellent performance and durability throughout the service life of the structure. It's very important that caution is taken during the curing process to ensure the best results.
