Rampavement

Since the late 1990s, pavement durability and cracking have become the primary asphalt pavement distress. Before the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP), rutting was the primary distress. Improvements in aggregate quality, mix design and polymer binders have almost eliminated the problems with rutting. Now is the time to investigate cracking.

Pavements deteriorate due to traffic, weather and time. Keep on reading for an overview of pavement preservation and how you can protect your paved assets.

Pavement preservation is a major consideration of owners and managers of streets, highways, parking lots and all types of pavements. The reason for this concern is that our pavements are steadily deteriorating due to traffic, weather and time.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! This holiday season, we want to encourage you to spend as much time as you can with your loved ones, laugh at old photos, toast to the good times and lend a helping hand to someone who may need it.

You’ve probably heard the claim by the asphalt industry that 93 (sometimes 94) percent of roads are paved with asphalt. Was the “94 percent asphalt” claim one of those folklore statements that when heard enough times from enough different sources, we believe it to be true without questioning its validity?

As we stand united and pay tribute to the brave men and women who have served our great country, RAM Pavement would like to express our unwavering support and appreciation for our veterans.
