MICRO-SURFACING YIELDS MACRO-IMPROVEMENTS

San Antonio, Texas, is finding increasing use for two versatile products--slurry and slurry micro-surfacing--in its lineup of options for preventive maintenance.

This article provides further details on slurry micro-surfacing, its applications, and its cost effectiveness.
