FABRIC OVERLAY

FABRIC OVERLAY

This essentially equates to dealing with problems before they start - after other problems may have necessitated repaving. By incorporating polypropylene paving fabric between the existing asphalt layer and new layer (at least 1.5 inches thick before being compacted to its final thickness), water infiltration is minimized, thus eliminating the occurrence of cracks in the new pavement. Installing the moisture barrier provided by the paving fabric can prolong the new pavement’s life by as much as 50 percent.
