Sealing Streets

Asphalt pavement is inherently porous and the older it gets, the more susceptible it becomes to ultraviolet light, moisture penetration, and petroleum products like gasoline or motor oil that leak or spill on the street. Sealing the pavement will eliminate this porous condition by rejuvenating the existing asphalt and sealing the surface. it provides a proactive approach to pavement management, rehabilitating Broomfield's asphalt pavement infrastructure before it is in need of overlay.

This proactive approach will add at least ten years of additional pavement life, and at $3 a square yard less than an overlay, it is definitely cost effective.
