Project overview:
The project consisted of preparing the asphalt pavement surface and applying approximately two million square feet of AP4 Asphalt Surface Treatment throughout various streets and subdivisions.

Andersen Asphalt always puts a focal emphasis on which treatments will be most effective. The longevity of the surface treatment is a very high priority. In coordination with the city engineer, public works director, and assistance from third-party engineering, our team determined which roads would benefit most from AP4 Surface Treatment. The team dedicated a cleaning and preparation crew and a full-time application crew for 10 working days. They applied AP4 on streets that were typically less than two years old.

The project goal was to put the right treatment on the right road at the right time to ensure that the roads will continue to perform well for more than five years.

What makes the project unique? The team used unique preparation equipment and precisely calibrated surface treatment applicators in a methodical process that overcame its industry challenges. The project beautified the streets, protected them, and added frictional benefits that should last for many years to come. This project will help West Haven city stretch its dollars and significantly extend the service life of its pavement.
