TARC Construction, Inc. has recently completed a remarkable large-scale paving project at a prestigious Country Club located in Moraga. The project involved the complete removal and replacement of the existing asphalt surface, showcasing TARC’s dedication to delivering high-quality infrastructure solutions. As part of their meticulous approach, TARC is committed to upholding the pavement’s durability and performance by adhering to the Manufacturer’s specifications.

Looking ahead, TARC has strategically planned for the continued care and protection of the newly paved surface. The application of the first Sealcoat will be applied in 2024, per manufactures specification and reflects their commitment to following industry best practices. This sealcoat will act as an initial layer of defense, shielding the pavement from the harsh effects of the environment and traffic, and setting the foundation for long-term pavement health. Furthermore, TARC’s sealcoat plan, which entails a periodic budgeted schedule of sealcoating every 3 to 5 years as well as annual pavement inspections demonstrates our forward-thinking approach to pavement maintenance. This strategy ensures that the Country Club’s asphalt remains in optimal condition, reducing the need for extensive repairs and safeguarding their investment in the paving project for the foreseeable future.

JUST REPLACED YOUR ASPHALT… DON’T MISS YOUR 1^st OIL CHANGE

Proper follow-up steps after a large-scale paving project are crucial for ensuring the longevity and functionality of the newly paved surface. One of the key aspects of post-paving care is the implementation of a well-thought-out pavement maintenance plan. This plan should be established prior to the commencement of the paving work. It outlines a comprehensive strategy for regular maintenance and repairs, helping to address issues like cracks, potholes, and deterioration caused by weather and traffic. The maintenance plan sets the stage for the pavement’s long-term health by identifying the necessary actions, resources, and timelines for upkeep. A well-maintained pavement not only improves safety for motorists and pedestrians but also saves costs by preventing the need for premature and extensive repairs.

The first oil change is a critical step in the follow-up process. This initial sealcoating application provides a protective layer to the pavement, restoring lost flexibility, guarding it against UV rays, moisture, and other environmental factors that can lead to degradation. It acts as a barrier, preventing water and harmful chemicals from seeping into the pavement structure and causing premature wear and tear. By applying the first sealcoat shortly after the paving project, the newly laid asphalt is safeguarded from the very beginning, extending its lifespan and reducing the need for major repairs down the line. Additionally, having a well-defined sealcoat plan ensures a proactive approach to maintenance. Budgeting for sealcoating every 3 to 5 years provides consistency in protection, guaranteeing that the pavement remains resilient and minimizes the risk of costly rehabilitation projects.

The significance of post-paving follow-up steps cannot be overstated. A pavement maintenance plan established prior to the commencement of an asphalt rehabilitation project, the implementation of the first oil change sealcoat, and a well-structured sealcoat plan for the future all contribute to the pavement’s longevity, functionality, and cost-effectiveness. These measures not only enhance safety for all users but also demonstrate a commitment to responsible infrastructure management, ensuring that the initial investment in the paving project continues to yield benefits for years to come.
