Typical Timeline for Paved Road Construction

Traditionally, it's possible to treat one half of a mile in one day, although this will depend on factors such as the construction crew’s ability, water availability, etc.

 
For the first application, we recommend a length of half a mile or less. After building familiarity with Perma-Zyme, you can add length. 

Below is an example timeline of the paved road construction process with Perma-Zyme:

Day 1 - Rip up the soil, presoak, and form large windrows. Let them sit overnight.

Day 2 - Unfold windrows, apply water and Perma-Zyme to achieve optimum moisture, shape surface, and compact the treated soil.

Day 3 - Allow soil to dry.

Day 4 - Open the area to light, slow-moving traffic.

Day 5 - Open the area to regular traffic if the soil is fully dry.

Day 8 - Apply the pavement topcoat. Follow all relevant protocol for application and traffic restrictions.

For detailed instructions of each step, see the APPLICATION PROCEDURE article.
