Right Seal Inc. is a full-service pavement maintenance operation with expertise in all fields of the industry, including but not limited to crack routing and filling, asphalt sealing, catch basins and line marking.

We joined Right Seal at a residential job site that was commissioned by a homeowner's association. The job consisted of crack routing and crack sealing on the residential streets within a neighborhood. The equipment being used included Marathon's UCMK370DT, DF10W and CR300K. Additionally the crew was using blowers, torches, and a backpack sprayer to apply Glenzoil.

The job started with the crew routing out the designated cracks. This was done quickly using their Marathon CR300K router, navigating the cracks using the router's guidance pin and the operator's experience with the equipment.

Closely behind the routing operator was a crew member with a backpack blower, blowing out the routed cracks to clean them. This step can also be completed with a walk behind blower such as a Billy Goat.

Once the cracks had been routed and blown clean, it was time for the crack sealing to start. Prior to arriving at the job site, the crew had heated their UMCK370DT and filled it with the appropriate crack filling product such as Maxwell 410. This meant that once the preparation steps were complete the material was immediately ready to be dispensed from the UCMK370DT into their multiple DF10W units using the 2' Gravity pour valve at the back of the machine.

Each DF10W holds approximately 10 gallons of rubber that allows the user to maneuver the job site safely and quickly, applying material into the drag shoe that then evenly spreads the product with an overband into the routed cracks.

The final step was for a crew member to walk along all of the sealed cracks with a backpack sprayer, applying a generous spray of Glenzoil to ensure the hot sealant would be safe for traffic both vehicle and pedestrians within 20 minutes of application.
