Cracks become potholes
Working cracks let water reach the base. One winter cycle later, you're patching potholes instead of sealing seams.

Roadways: Preservation programs for streets, arterials, and highway networks.
Roadways fail in predictable ways — water intrusion, oxidation, raveling at the wear course. We scope a preservation program from a portfolio of proven products and match the right system to each segment, so you defer reconstruction and keep lanes in service through the worst freeze cycles.

Problems we see
Where roadways surfaces fail.
Faded striping
Lane lines fade in 2–3 seasons under traffic and UV. Visibility drops, accident exposure rises.
Loss of friction
Polished aggregate at intersections and braking zones drops BPN values below safe thresholds.
What we put down
The system for roadways.
Crack seal & rout
Treat working cracks before water and freeze cycles can do their damage — sealant selected for the climate and joint movement.
Overlay system
Bonded wear course matched to traffic loading and climate, restoring ride quality and resetting the surface lifecycle.
High-friction surfacing
Engineered friction treatments at intersections and curves bring traction back above 0.70 BPN.
Outcomes
What you get when the work is done.
Documented, repeatable, and built into the close-out package on every job.
- Defer reconstruction by 7+ years
- Open lanes overnight, not over weeks
- Phased work plans coordinated with DOT
Questions
Roadways questions, answered.
Can you work around live traffic?+
Yes. Roadway programs are scheduled in lane-closure windows agreed up front with the agency. We mobilize traffic control and reopen on schedule.
Who actually does the work?+
Our crews are a blend of Harkin staff and vetted subcontract partners, all trained through the Harkin Certification process and separately certified by every product manufacturer we install. That's how we can bring the right system to a live roadway instead of forcing one product to fit every job.
