• Abstract:
  “Saw and Seal” is the process of introducing uniformly spaced saw joints to a bituminous overlay in an ; attempt to eliminate or retard the formation of thermal and /or reflective cracking. ; Saw and Seal technology has been experimented with for many years. Several states including ; Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, Minnesota and Pennsylvania have used the Saw and Seal ; method. Although its primary use has been for bituminous over jointed concrete pavements, some states ; are using Saw and Seal on new construction and bituminous overlays of existing bituminous pavements. ; In the fall of 1997, the Maine Department of Transportation (MDOT) completed construction on two ; projects that included Saw and Seal technology in an effort to mitigate thermal and reflective cracking.
