Abstract

Foamed asphalt has been used as an economical alternative to conventional repair methods for distressed roads and parking lots. Typical candidates are roads and parking lots that are flat, cracked, pot-holed, rutted, flushed, heaved, too narrow or have insufficient base strength. Foamed asphalt does not bulk so paving contractors are able to restore original profiles in paved areas that have been resurfaced three or four times. The process also provides a way to increase structural strength while maintaining the existing profile. Foamed asphalt can be used to rehabilitate large areas of distressed asphalt that wold otherwise be unsuitable for overlays.
