Spray sealing capability statement

Spray sealing is a quick and economical alternative to asphalting for a range of light and medium duty applications.

Spray sealing is achieved by spraying a thin film of bituminous binder on to a road surface, and then covering it with a layer of aggregate. The bituminous binder acts as a waterproofing layer and prevents water entering the underlying road structure. The aggregate protects this layer from damage by vehicle tyres, and together they form a durable, skid resistant and dust free surface.

Why spray seal?

Spray sealing is a cost effective alternative to asphalting for a range of light and medium duty applications.

A spray seal will:

  • provide durable, safe and dust-free surfacing
  • protect the base from the effects of traffic and the environment by preventing moisture ingress into the pavement structure
  • provide adequate skid resistance over the life of the surfacing.

Applications

We can provide a suitable spray seal to comply with Austroads standards. Typical applications include:

  • C170 Single/Single primer and final seals
  • C170 Double/Double primer and final seals
  • C170 prime prior to asphalt

We can complete a project of any scale from a residential driveway, a highway or even an airport.

Asset management

Renewal of the pavement surface with spray sealing minimises the rate of pavement wear and whole-of-life maintenance costs.
