Petraviam paving improves with time

For research purposes, we continue to test Petraviam for durability and performance.  During rain or shine, Petraviam maintains a hard and impervious surface.
 
Following a Brinell hardness methodology, we measured wet compacted road base, dry compacted road base and a county road against Petraviam roads for hardness.  Wet Petraviam roads were 300 percent harder than wet road base that had been compacted.  Over time, as the solution oxidizes, the Petraviam
paved surface continues to get harder.

What does it mean for counties and municipalities? Safer roads, happier citizens, reduced road and bridge expenditures. The county road below was paved 2-months ago with an asphalt seal coat, when it rained it turned to mud with a relative hardness of 0.114 compared to the adjacent Petraviam paved ranch road with a hardness of 3.39.  The photo below tells the tale; ruts and mud that will turn to dust and erosion over time.

What does it mean for facilities operators and logistics companies?  Petraviam stands up to 80,000 pound trucks running all day, every day, rain or shine.
