The story for Tucson National Estates started like many others. It had been about 3 years since their last asphalt surface treatment, and a combination of tradition and underperforming products dictated that it was time to apply the treatment again. This time was different, though. Darrell Stewart, a Tucson National Estates Board Member, happened upon a truck applying HA5 High Density Mineral Bond to a neighboring community and decided to investigate further. Hear Darrell tell why the community ultimately chose HA5 High Density Mineral Bond over a traditional seal coat and its impact on the community. Learn more about HA5 here: https://hubs.ly/Q0390XP00

As Tennessee continues to grow, it will be more important than ever for the State's Public Works officials to prioritize pavement preservation. Luckily, some of the state's most forward-thinking cities are already adopting early preservation methods to extend and maximize the life of their asphalt assets. A few of those cities are featured below: https://hubs.ly/Q036-Nfy0

With nearly 300 days of sunshine a year, Marana’s roads faced constant UV damage. Seal coats, chip seals, and micro seals failed to protect their asphalt—but then they found HA5 High Density Mineral Bond. Here’s what happened next: -Roads sealed with HA5 last up to 10 years with minimal maintenance. -New developments are now required to apply HA5 to protect asphalt from day one. "Residents often mistake preserved roads for brand-new asphalt!" Former Engineering Division Manager Scott Leska says it best: "I will stake my reputation on it. HA5 is one of the best products I’ve ever used." Read the full story to see how Marana made it happen: https://hubs.ly/Q036-RHy0

The Utah Asphalt Pavement Association Annual Conference kicks off today. If you're responsible for managing asphalt assets in Utah, come see us at booth 704.

Looking back at the summer of 2024. This is a project we completed for the City of Lehi. We've talked before about how Lehi has experienced massive growth over the last few years, which has put a lot of strain on its public works department to accommodate the new residents. In response, Lehi's Public Works team continues to invest in keeping their good roads in good condition, which is a cost-effective way to improve the quality of their entire road network. It's a pleasure working with Lehi.
