Chip Seal in Utah
Why Chip Seal Over Gravel or Asphalt?
For Gravel:
- Dust Control: Gravel roads in Utah’s arid regions generate dust, reducing visibility and air quality. Chip sealing binds the gravel into a solid surface, cutting down on dust.
- Stability: It keeps gravel from shifting under traffic or eroding in storms, preventing ruts and potholes.
- Weather Protection: Gravel is susceptible to washouts from rain or damage from snowmelt. Chip sealing guards against Utah’s diverse weather.
For Asphalt:
- Extended Lifespan: If your asphalt is cracking or fading but not yet due for replacement, chip sealing can prolong its life.
- Surface Renewal: It restores weathered, sun-bleached asphalt, enhancing both its look and functionality.
- Cost Efficiency: Chip sealing over existing asphalt is a cost-effective option compared to full resurfacing or reconstruction.
Our Chip Sealing Process
- Assessment: We evaluate your gravel or asphalt base to ensure it’s ready for chip sealing, optimizing adhesion and durability.
- Preparation:
- Gravel: We grade the surface for a smooth, even foundation.
- Asphalt: We clean and patch major cracks or damage for a strong bond.
- Application:
An asphalt emulsion is sprayed on, followed by a layer of aggregate (chips). We roll it to secure the chips in place. - Curing: The emulsion sets, forming a tough link between the chips and base layer.
- Sealing: In high-traffic or harsh-weather zones, we can add an extra seal coat for enhanced resilience.
Tailored to Utah’s Unique Regions
- Northern Utah: We focus on durability for cold winters and snow in areas like Salt Lake City and the Wasatch Front.
- Southern Utah: Emphasizing heat resistance and dust control in the red-rock deserts near St. George.
- Central Utah: Balancing arid conditions with occasional rain for rural roads and small towns.
- Eastern Utah: Strengthening against wind and erosion in the expansive, rugged plains.
- Western Utah: Fortifying against dryness and salt exposure near the Great Salt Lake.
