Pavement Preservation Experts
Working to Keep Our Nation Moving forward
It’s a fact of life in roadway construction that the surfaces we rely on eventually wear out. The cost to replace them isn’t cheap, and more often than not, budgets are tight. That’s where we come in.
ESS employs an extensive group of pavement preservation and repair specialists, who travel the country restoring worn out concrete and asphalt roadway surfaces for continued use by the public. Using diamond grinding, seal coating, chip seal, and other specialized methods, our work helps extend the life cycle of roads and improve smoothness for years to come.
