Maintenance of Asphalt Pavement – Cost Comparison Worksheet,This document (developed by the Colorado Asphalt Pavement Association) includes a Worksheet that can be used to develop a comparative analysis of strategies and options. The worksheet can be used to develop a Cost/Service Life/Sq.Yd. The primary variable will be the input value for years of service for each strategy.

A time-proven method of extending the life of pavement structures that are still in serviceable shape is the application of thin asphalt overlays. These overlays are 1.5 inches or less in thickness, and comprised of aggregate having a small nominal maximum aggregate size, generally 12.5 mm or less.

THE USE OF HOT MIX ASPHALT FOR PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE
The Minnesota Asphalt Pavement Association (MAPA) has been very proactive in explaining the uses and benefits of hot mix asphalt for roadway maintenance. Here are a couple of links to the MAPA website and information on the use of hot mix asphalt in comparison to other strategies for pavement maintenance. In addition, Richard Wolters, MAPA, Executive Director, gave a presentation at the 31st AnnualRockyMountain Asphalt Conference & Equipment Show entitled Thin Overlays as a Cost Effective Preventive Maintenance Tool.
