Crack Mitigation

INTRODUCTION

Pavement cracking distress on roads, highways, parking lots and airport runways and aprons is a common problem. The intrusion of water through surface cracks and into the base structure accelerates deterioration of the roadway structure. Resurfacing the road can improve the situation but only until cracks in the underlying layers reflect through the new surface.

Nilex’s line of pavement reinforcement products can reduce maintenance costs and extend the roadway lifespan by providing reinforcement between the levelling and surface course of the pavement to resist the migration of cracks as well as preventing surface water infiltration by forming a moisture barrier and stress/strain absorption layer, improving the pavement’s resistance to reflective and fatigue cracking.
