This guide is a field tool to assist workers in selecting and construction the right asphalt surface treatment (AST) for their specific situation. It describes how to construct three basic types of serviceable ASTs: seal coat AST, double-layer AST, and high float AST, using a specific selection of asphalt types and aggregate gradations that are found to work in Alaska. The guide covers materials selection and quality, construction methods, and troubleshooting. It also contains safety information. Before this guide, there existed no single, comprehensive document covering AST construction – workers used a varied combination of manuals from many sources, including personal “cheat sheets.” This guide is a compilation of available information, drawing heavily from national sources as well as Canada’s Yukon Government Community and Transportation Services. It contains specifications, detailed construction methods, and cautionary information that have never before been collected into a single document. It does not cover hot mix asphalt applications.
