Sealing Asphalt and Concrete
Ventas provide asphalt and concrete sealing services perfect for rolling traffic, busy footpaths, and roads.
There are multiple causes for damage to asphalt and concrete roads, and here at Ventas we’ve seen it all over the years.
Complications such as excessive use play a huge factor to damaging these kinds of areas, as well as destructive environmental influences that mean a constant requirement for upgrades and fixes.
This is problematic for a number of reasons, from the health and safety of users to costs to the government. They can take a toll on everybody, and are a drain on public finances.
Issues arise everywhere, from roads that are designed improperly, to footpaths and other groundworks with the same issues, but asphalt and concrete sealing solutions from Ventas can remedy the situation.
The weakest points in roads are the joints, seams and connections in asphalt and concrete. These are subject to intense pressure on a regular basis and if not properly maintained or properly installed in the first place, can lead to a whole host of issues.
- Joints are spaces between two asphalt or concrete layers, or between their layers or components.
- These layers or components include things such as kerbs, manhole covers etc and are a common weak point. Joints are either intentional or necessary for the working situation in question, depending on their use and purpose.
- Another weak point in asphalt systems are seams.
Seams are contact surfaces that are created when asphalt mix is laid in lanes. They are built alongside or near to breaks in the application of the asphalt (longitudinal or lateral seams). - And finally, connections.
- Connections are contact surfaces between different asphalt mix types such as rolled asphalt & poured asphalt. Connections can also be found around components, from near kerbs to plaster, and more.
It is crucial that premium products are used in the installation and maintenance of asphalt and concrete, in order to protect these weak points adequately and effectively. This is a common stumbling block for construction companies, but one that can be totally avoided with the correct systems and products that we supply.
