Looking back at the three weeks in January, Ireland emphasized how valuable positive exposure like this was for the fairgrounds. Not only had the facility provided a valuable service, but staff had successfully demonstrated to the community how they could come to the community s rescue at a moment s notice. According to Bob Nixon, CFSA s general liability claims administrator, the most common accidents on fairgrounds for visitors are slips, trips and falls, in parking lots, driveways and walkways. It s easy to see how preventative maintenance of paved surfaces is one of the most cost-effective ways to keep your fairgrounds safe and inviting. These seals fill holes, prevent surface water from penetrating into weathered pavement, and renew the surfaces of slick and aging pavement.
Chip seal is an asphalt-aggregate surface treatment used as a wearing and waterproofing layer.
Application of a chip seal also increases the structural strength of the pavement with each layer of seal applied. Most of the loose rock is usually swept up with a rotary power broom, and any remaining rock is, over time, either removed or embedded by daily traffic into the asphalt. Slurry seal is an emulsified asphalt treatment generally used as a protective and maintenance layer over existing layers of pavement. Even though slurry seal doesn t increase the pavement s structural strength, it will extend the life of your pavement.
