GSB® Extends Pavement Life, and Our Customers are Saving REAL Money!

Proven by FHWA, FAA, NAVFAC, MDOT, and AZDOT research:
GSB® Asphalt Preservation Treatments can Save 10x over the Cost of 1 Asphalt Overlay!

The reality of the overwhelming costs of relying on a Worst-First Maintenance Strategy has left 60% of Jones County roads close to the end of their life-cycle. As in many counties, facing steep reconstruction costs and budget shortfalls, many engineers and decision-makers are looking for a better, more cost-effective strategy. See how GSB® was the strategy of choice for extending the roads of Jones County.

Derek Snead, P.E., Jones County Engineer.
"I’ve been working with the county for about 2 1/2 years now. We’re trying our best to keep up with the roads as best we can with the money we’ve got. Well, we have an extensive pavement system here in the county, about 150 miles of paved roads. Of those 150 miles, a chunk of them, over 60% are getting closes to the end of their life.

We obviously don’t have the funds to repair all the roads we want to. GSB® (Gilsonite Sealer Binder® Preservation Treatment) was one solution we looked at to try to offset some of the replacement (cost) with extending the life of some of our paved roads here in the county.

It (GSB®) was a very easy process. We did the project under traffic. It didn’t take very much time. (We found) GSB® penetrates deep into the existing pavement. That creates a flexible pavement which is what it was initially intended to be. It (GSB®) gets down deep into the pavement as opposed to just on the surface--it gets down into it and makes the whole thing flexible and kind of work together. Typically when we do sealants they’re more for cracks and the surrounding areas. This GSB® is more of a broader (application). It goes over the entire area. It protects from future cracks that aren’t maybe existing quite yet or are very small.

It (GSB®) seemed to to do the job it said it was going to do so far. So far, we are very happy with the product."

Is your ice prevention strategy GOOD for your assets?

Every year building and pavement owners discover thousands of dollars in property damage after the snow and ice thaw.

Don’t let this be you. Use the right product for the right job! 

Unlike in other de-icers, Caliber does not contain abrasive elements so replacement, cleanup or repair becomes virtually non-existent.

Liquid de-icers enhanced with Caliber are environmentally friendly to pedestrians and vegetation (including delicate landscaping) and are less corrosive to concrete and concrete parking structures, and will not damage your expensive floors and carpeting. Many of our customers have indicated their reduced floor care costs single-handedly paid for the switch over to liquid de-icers!

And, Caliber is more powerful than other de-icers, so less is needed to yield the same or even better melting performance. This means for a lower overall cost, Caliber gives you more melting and staying power than nearly anything else on the market today.

Will Your Roads be Ready for Winter?

In the days gone by, pavement owners did little to plan ahead for the winter months. The plan of action was to wait and then react after Mother Nature had descended upon us. Snowfall was allowed to accumulate and then the expensive and arduous process of clean up and removal began, often taking days to complete while shutting down access for unbearable amounts of time.

Today, research has proven there is a much better and proactive way to combat the unpredictable winter months using Liquid de-icers!

When you apply liquid treatments to your pavements as part of a proactive attack before the storm arrives, the result is a significant reduction in the effort (and cost) to keep roads highways and parking areas clear. Plus, today's mixes are environmentally friendly and won't harm delicate landscaping, trees, and shrubs and interiors unlike other methods!

Don’t get left out in the cold!
