Mesa, Arizona An interview with Matt Manthey: Pavement Management Supervisor, City of Mesa, Arizona “We’re out here today, outside of Falcon Field, we’re going to be demoing GSB-88®. It’s a pavement preservation treatment. Why are we doing it? Why do we care about preserving our roads? Our roads are our largest assets that we have. In Mesa alone, I have 2 billion dollars of asphalt roads that we have to maintain. That’s 36 million square yards of asphalt. And I try to get t

ICE PREVENTION: Pre-wetting stockpiles saves money!

Historically, pavement owner’s have waited to react  only after the storm. Snowfall accumulated and then the expensive and arduous process of clean up and removal began–often taking days to complete, shutting down access for unbearable amounts of time. Today, we know there is a better proactive way to combat the unpredictable winter months. Anti-icing with liquid de-icers can reduce removal effort by up to 10 to 1! Pre-wetting agents bond and transform ordinary rock salt stoc

Minimize costs by Pre-wetting stockpiles

Minimize costs by Pre-wetting stockpiles

Pre-wetting stockpiles minimizes total operating costs up to 40%: • Transform ordinary salt stockpiles into high performance de-icers! Pre-wetted stockpiles melt at lower temperatures which means the pre-treated rock salt is still working long after untreated salt has washed away. • Reduce the amount of chemical needed for melting and removing hazardous winter snow and ice. Liquid stays in the stockpile and sticks better when broadcast from application vehicles, reducing

Asphalt Preservation: Does it really make a difference?

Asphalt Preservation: Does it really make a difference?

A Road Comparison: Two roads were paved in 2017. The first Road was sealed with GSB-88® within a month or so of it being paved. The second Road was paved, then left unsealed. Both Roads were routinely checked for decay. 2 years later, the difference is impressive! The first Road sealed with GSB-88® still looks Great, while the second Road, left unsealed, is showing clear signs of decay—the top coat is wearing away exposing loose aggregates. The County Engineer (Marion Co.)

What's a 1970’s oil filter slogan have to do with pavement maintenance?

What's a 1970’s oil filter slogan have to do with pavement maintenance?

Many of the National Park Service’s deferred maintenance issues could have been avoided with proper preventative attention. "‘You can pay me now or pay me later,‘ says a 1970s oil-filter commercial, which advised spending on preventative auto care to avoid costly repairs later. The slogan is a good analogy for how the deferred maintenance backlog at America’s national parks has climbed to nearly $12 billion. The mission of the National Park Service is to preserve and protec

GSB-88® is proven to halt oxidation

Spring Street Closure Agony!

You may hope this street is on this year’s “fix-it” list, but with dwindling budgets, other lengthy street repair and costly total reconstruction projects, this Poor Condition street might not have made the list! How important should this be to you? Extremely! In a 2016 report, the American Society of Civil Engineers stated, “Deteriorating conditions and performance impose costs on American house-holds and businesses in a number of ways. Facilities in poor condition lead to

Tests show Gilsonite-based sealer extends pavement life.

The Central Church of Christ in Cedar Rapids, IA, applied a GSB ® sealcoating product to its newly paved parking lot in 1978. The organization has followed the initial application with treatments of the same product every five years. (Information for this article was provided by Asphalt Systems Inc., Salt Lake City, UT.)
