Maintenance

Application Overview

Maintenance roads are subject to repeated traffic loading, aging pavements, and underlying structural deficiencies that lead to cracking, moisture ingress, and accelerated deterioration. POME’s asphalt reinforcement systems provide an effective solution to extend pavement life by controlling crack propagation and improving the structural performance of asphalt overlays.

By integrating high-performance asphalt interlayers within the pavement structure, POME delivers long-term durability, reduced maintenance intervention, and improved lifecycle cost efficiency for maintenance road networks.

Ground Challenges in Maintenance

Reflective Cracking
Existing cracks and joints propagate through new asphalt overlays, leading to premature failure.
Moisture Ingress
Cracks allow water to penetrate the pavement structure, weakening the base and subgrade.
Fatigue and Traffic Loading
Repeated vehicle loads induce tensile strains that accelerate asphalt fatigue cracking.
Short Overlay Life
Traditional overlay or mill-and-fill solutions provide only temporary improvement without addressing the root cause of cracking.

POME’s Solution

Installs high-performance asphalt reinforcement interlayers between asphalt courses to control crack propagation.
Enhances tensile stiffness of the asphalt layer, reducing strain under traffic loading.
Acts as a stress-relieving and moisture-limiting layer to protect underlying pavement layers.
Significantly improves overlay performance without increasing asphalt thickness.
Supported by POME’s engineering expertise to ensure correct product selection and installation methodology.

Benefits

Effective Control of Reflective and Fatigue Cracking

Extended Pavement Service Life

Reduced Maintenance Frequency and Lifecycle Costs

Improved Resistance to Traffic-Induced Stresses

Fast Installation with Minimal Disruption to Road Operations

Engineered for Efficiency

POME’s asphalt reinforcement solutions are designed to address the underlying mechanisms of pavement deterioration rather than simply treating surface symptoms. By reinforcing asphalt overlays and limiting crack propagation, we deliver stronger, more durable maintenance roads with predictable long-term performance.
