Le Roy — At Monday’s city council meeting...Gee Asphalt Systems Inc. was approved to apply GSB-88® asphalt emulsion fog seal at a contracted rate not to exceed $50,000, and the council approved the motion while waiving competitive bidding. At a previous committee meeting in February, Dan Gee — representing Gee Asphalt — told the council of the Gilsonite product sold as GSB-88 ®

Seeing is believing! Both lots were installed in 1978 but ONLY ONE lot was carefully maintained and received a steady diet of Asphalt Preservation treatments with GSB®! The other lot was completely neglected and left to the typical structural pavement deterioration cycle. Now 35+ years later the neglected lot is experiencing COMPLETE FAILURE and is overdue for expensive total reconstruction while the GSB® treated lot remains in Good Condition — binder strength a

Remember the old adage, April Showers Bring May Flowers? Well if you own asphalt pavement, you know the Spring Thaw will reveal cracks that opened up and froze repeatedly during harsh winter conditions—and damaging cracks brings out-of-control potholes to deal with sooner than you think!

The bottom line: IT SAVES MONEY! Proven: FHWA, FAA, NAVFAC, MDOT, and AZDOT data all conclude, for $1 spent on Asphalt Preservation, up to $11 is saved by reducing replacement costs and extending pavement life. Why does it work?

In other words, your pavements’ vital oils, essent

What’s on your Budget for the New Year? Are some of the same patches and fixes expected on your Budget again in 2016? If you are this pavement owner, just like last year and several years before that, this ugly repair is now a permanent line in the Budget. Plus, besides the cost of the materials, this downhill narrow stretch without shoulders creates potential safety hazards for both motorists forced to a stop and workers out on the road during the duration of the repair…YEAR

FALL is HERE. The days are getting shorter and if worsening pavement deterioration throughout your lot is giving you nightmares, there are now less daylight hours for necessary repairs. And, you hope your binder will stay protected throughout the harsh unpredictable winter months. But, night repairs often come with a much LARGER PRICE-TAG. And, if your business is open 24 hours, less parking might mean customers may drive on down the road and spend their money at your
