This week we’re taking you to the heart of Naperville, Illinois, for a closer look at RePLAY™ installation!
Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church
We’ve discussed RePLAY™ in previous posts. As a refresher, RePLAY™ is a pavement rejuvenator designed to penetrate up to 1.25 inches of the asphalt introducing new SBS polymers, reducing permeability, and thus reversing the natural oxidation process. It is a cost-effective way to maintain and improve your parking lot or roadway. RePLAY™ is also considered to be a “Green” product, which is where we’ve mentioned it before on our blog. While most pavement maintenance products are petroleum or coal tar-based, RePLAY™ is a bio-based material derived from soy beans, a renewable resource. In addition to being carbon negative, RePLAY™ also has the added benefit of producing a gray surface color (rather than jet-black), which helps mitigate the Urban Heat Island Effect.
Project Fast Facts
Job Site Location: Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church in Naperville, IL
Project: Cracksealing and lot marking followed by RePLAY™ application
S.C.A.L.E. Guide Score: Lot was a “B” grade according to our S.C.A.L.E. Guide
Duration of Project: Clean-up to completion lasted approximately 4 hours. Due to the rapid cure time, the parking lot was re-opened about 30 minutes after completion.
Why RePLAY™: RePLAY™ was a great fit for Our Saviour’s since the pavement had never been sealcoated before. The faster cure time was especially convenient for the employees and members of the congregation. As an added bonus, RePLAY™ is an environmentally-friendly alternative!
Procedure: Prior to RePLAY™ installation, the parking lot was cracksealed and striped. Next, the parking lot was cleaned of all loose dirt and debris. RePLAY™ was then applied via a specialized spray system designed by BioSpan Technologies, Inc., the manufacturer of RePLAY™.
