City of Atlanta, Georgia (2017)

BACKSTORY

After visiting Gallagher’s HIR project for Paulding Co., Georgia, in June of 2017, Atlanta’s innovative and forward-thinking public works department knew that HIR could benefit their resurfacing program.

AGENCY PROBLEM

The City of Atlanta needed a cost-effective solution to resurface older pavements and minimize reflective cracking.

GALLAGHER’S SOLUTION

Using the HIR process, prior to adding structure, resulted in further crack retardation and a longer lifecycle—as compared to a simple overlay. This combination of HIR with a thin wearing surface also provided a significant cost savings when compared to a traditional mill and fill process, as well as less traffic interruption.
