Technical Advisory Committee

From:

Doug Bilse, Principal Engineer

Meeting Date:

April 4, 2019

Subject:

Presentation on Fiber Additives for Asphalt Pavement and Slurry Seal


RECOMMENDED ACTION:
RECEIVE a presentation on fiber additives to asphalt and slurry seal mixes for increased strength and longer pavement life.
SUMMARY:
Fiber additives to asphalt and slurry seal mixes can extend the life of pavement.  With Measure X and SB1 pavement maintenance funding going directly to cities and counties, fiber additives may provide a way to extend the life of those maintenance projects and allow agencies to maintain more road miles over time.
DISCUSSION:

Brandon Gasser, Pacific Geosource, will present technical information on fiber additives for asphalt pavement and slurry seals to extend their operational life.
