A ‘Single Chip’ seal is best utilized to extend the lifespan of the existing pavement. When installing a single chip seal over an existing surface, we start by spraying an even coat of liquid asphalt onto the prepared surface with a distributor. The liquid is then followed by a predetermined application of fine or coarse aggregates, typically either a 1/4″ or 3/8″ chip stone, depending on your needs.
Our stone spreader and asphalt distributors are computer controlled to apply a uniform application to the surface at a precise rate for a consistent finished product from curb to curb. Following the liquid and stone application to the driveway, we then static roll the surface with a pneumatic-tired roller to ensure the stones are embedded equally into the asphalt emulsion.
When installing a double chip seal we first spray liquid asphalt emulsion onto the surface with an asphalt distributor, followed by a 3/8″ stone spread into the liquid asphalt. The first coat is rolled with a steel drum roller knocking the 3/8” stones flat into the liquid to prepare for a final coat of oil and stone. We then spray over the 3/8″ chip with another coat of asphalt and spread a smaller 1⁄4″ stone into the liquid asphalt.
The driveway is then rolled with a rubber-tired roller pushing the stones into the voids of the 3/8″ stone to ensure the finish coat is embedded into the liquid. One of the many reasons for installing a 3/8″ chip furnished with a 1⁄4″ chip is to prevent the rough texture that is commonly experienced with a conventional chip.
