CM REAS
CM REAS is a durable pavement preservation solution made with asphalt emulsion, recycled California tire rubber, and polymers. It uses twice the modified binder required by industry standards for enhanced durability. This long-lasting material outperforms slurry seal in life cycle cost analysis and is available in three gradations for different traffic conditions.
Flex Cape
Flex Cape is a multi-layered system designed to seal cracks and restore distressed streets. It provides a smooth surface while maintaining structural integrity. This solution offers a 10-year warranty and outperforms traditional cape seal or thin overlay methods in durability and cost-effectiveness.
CM Flex Cool
CM Flex Cool is a light-colored pavement solution that reduces urban heat island effects. It combines cooling properties with durable pavement preservation using Type II aggregate. This innovative product reflects sunlight while maintaining strength for residential and neighborhood applications.
Asphalt Solutions
Our asphalt solutions include engineered binders and polymer-modified materials for enhanced performance. Products are rigorously tested daily at our central mixing plant to exceed Greenbook specifications. These solutions improve street longevity while reducing maintenance costs over time.
Performance Tracking
We conduct ongoing performance tracking studies, including a 10-year CPT study monitoring CM REAS effectiveness. This data-driven approach ensures continuous improvement and verifies that 70% of material remains after 7 years, confirming long-term reliability and value.
