Our Specialty
Due to New Zealand's tectonic movements and sub-tropical weather it is important to have a road surface that can flex without cracking. Chipseal is the most flexible road surface available and alongside a well planned and executed base course provides for superior waterproofing; the most important factor for road performance.
Chipseal is safer than all alternatives boasting the best surface texture depth and surface drainage characteristics as a result.
The Emulsion (Glue) which we use in our chip-seal not only provides significant reductions to carbon emissions but also boasts significant improvements to flexibility, chip retention and performance in varying temperatures.
As a guide Chipseal is generally a quarter the cost of Asphalt and a fifth the cost of concrete. It can be constructed in a matter of hours and be ready for traffic immediately.
Did you know that there are colour requirements for driveways under resource consent? Our Chipseal meets resource consent requirements for peace of mind.
It’s All in the Details
Pot holes destroying your day?
Did you know waterproofing is the most important factor dictating the life of your roadway?
The earlier you act the less it costs, what starts as a crack will become a pot hole that will continue to grow before requiring major repair!
Cracks are repaired by using a special crack seal machine or in combination with water based sealant to seal cracks deep.
Repairing potholes properly requires a proven process that not only fills a hole, but provides waterproofing and strength back to the roadway.
