Comparative Field Testing of Asphalt and Concrete
Pavement Preservation Treatments in Oklahoma
The paper concludes that the combination of skid resistance, macrotexture, and financial data provide a powerful tool to assist pavement preservation engineers in selecting the appropriate treatment for a given road.
In December of 2019 Skidabrader had the opportunity to texture 8 sections of the National Center for Asphalt Technology Test Track (NCAT).
