Economic
Justification for Sealcoating
Sealcoating will save real dollars as shown in the following tabulation.
The cost savings will be a substantial 65% if the pavement is maintained
according toa schedule recommended by the manufacturer. Unsealed
pavements will require repairs starting with the second year and
a one(1) inch overlay every seven years. The damage to the unsealed
pavement could be even more costly if the proper repair schedule
is ignored. |
