A Cape Seal consists of an application of Fractured Aggregate Surface Treatment (FAST) as a base course, covered in an application of Slurry Seal.

There are several steps involved for a Cape Seal, as follows:

1. Crack sealing, as necessary. Cracks are primarily sealed only in the center of the roadway because the cracks nearest the curbs will be addressed as part of another step (below).
2. Next, crews will remove and replace corner sidewalk ramps to bring them into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Residents will receive a postcard prior to this activity. During this time, crews may also remove and replace valley gutters adjacent to the ramps, as needed. Valley gutters are concrete gutters which run parallel to the roadway to assist drainage in flowing across side streets. To accommodate this work, there will be brief road closures while crews remove the existing valley gutter and install the new valley gutter. Following the concrete installation, there will be small strips where the asphalt has been removed adjacent to the newly installed concrete ramp or valley gutter. These strips will be temporarily filled with loose aggregate that will be compacted until the asphalt is permanently patched in the next step.
3. Asphalt patching and repairs will take place in miscellaneous areas and also along newly installed concrete.
4. Crews will mill (remove) asphalt along the sides of the road closest to the curb lane to lower the profile of the road to avoid creating a lip at the curb when the surface seals are applied. Immediately following the milling, crews will apply FAST. Residents will receive a door hanger on the front door of their home prior to this activity. FAST is comprised of asphalt rubber and fractured rocks which will be put down as a base coat. This application will also act as a sealant to the cracks closest to the curb lane. FAST is typically applied to one-half of the road at a time to maintain traffic and it cures relatively quickly so traffic can usually resume within a couple of hours. Some sloughing, or small loose rocks, on the roadway is expected and will be minimized by the final seal in the next step.
5. Following the FAST application, crews will apply a slurry seal. Slurry seal is also typically applied to one-half of the roadway at a time to maintain traffic; however, it does have a longer cure time. Residents can expect one-half of their street to be closed to traffic between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Residents will typically receive another door hanger on the front door of their home prior to this activity because this slurry seal application takes place sometimes up to weeks after the FAST application. In the event the slurry seal application is following the FAST application more quickly, than the information for both may be included on one door hanger which is distributed prior to the FAST application.
6. Once the seals have been completed, utilities, such as manholes and valves, may need to be raised to make them flush with the roadway, striping will be reapplied, and the pavement application complete.

For all of these activities, on-street parking may be restricted and No Parking signs will be placed 48 hours in advance if that is the case. Residential services, such as trash and postal, should not be impacted by this work. Traffic control will be in place to protect the work area so please do not drive across fresh sealant until traffic control has been removed. Additionally, please do not allow water to run into the streets 48 hours prior to work taking place since the sealants will not adhere to wet asphalt.

Generally speaking, mailers go out to affected areas as preparatory work begins (i.e., crack seal and concrete/asphalt repairs), and this is followed by door hangers for surface seal applications.

The contractor is required to coordinate with Glendale Sanitation so set your trash out by 7 a.m. if work is scheduled on your regular trash pick-up day.

Postal services should not be affected.

On-street parking will not be permitted during the application and “No Parking” signs will be posted a day or more in advance of the work to ensure vehicles are off the street for the application to take place.

The door hanger you will receive will provide specific information, and please be sure not to drive through barricades or traffic cones as they protect the contractor’s work area.

In some cases, such as inclement weather (rain) or materials/scheduling issues, work may need to be adjusted. Unless your notification says otherwise, work will be moved to the next possible working day and you may or may not be notified again. Please keep the information you receive until the work in your area has been completed.

For roads that are in greater need of repair, a mill (removal of asphalt) and overlay application is typically conducted.

Ramps and Concrete Repairs

Completed to ensure compliance with ADA and safety standards. Prior to pavement treatment, ADA ramps are removed and replaced or newly installed, valley gutters may also be replaced or newly installed, and any sidewalk or curbing may be determined to need replacement. Valley gutters are the concrete gutters that typically run across the street, designed to carry storm water across the roadway to a nearby catch basin or storm drain. Concrete work typically takes place in the public right-of-way and landscape disturbed during this process is restored or adjusted, if needed to retrofit the new ADA ramp. For the best quality pavement application, this concrete work needs to take place prior to any pavement treatment.

Completed first to prepare for the milling process. Valves and utilities that exist in the roadway to be milled are lowered below the surface of the asphalt so that they are not damaged during the asphalt removal. Once the mill and overlay process is complete, they are raised once again to be flush with the new asphalt surface. When work will take place near a signalized intersection, it may be necessary to also remove or replace traffic signal loops, which are placed in the asphalt pavement at the approaches to the intersection and detect vehicles wanting to enter the intersection; this triggers the traffic signal to cycle through.

The mill and overlay process can then begin, first with crews milling (removing) a predetermined measure of asphalt (1” or greater) dependent upon the condition of the existing asphalt. Equipment typically is wide enough to cover 1 to 1 1/2 lanes of roadway, so this usually requires several passes of the milling machine to conduct the removal. Generally speaking, roads typically remain open for travel during this process; however, traffic is shifted away from the work zone and left turns may be restricted. As this process crosses in front of side streets and driveways, there may be brief period of time where access may not be permitted (15-30 minutes).

Once the milling is completed, crews can apply the new asphalt surface and conduct any compacting of the asphalt. Once again, this takes place typically with several passes of the paving machine and, at times, access may be restricted as the machine crosses side streets and driveways. While this may be frustrating during the process, it is important to the quality of the final product that vehicles do not immediately travel over the new asphalt surface until it has cooled slightly. Construction crews typically direct travelers and, once complete, travel may resume. Once the paving is complete, the road can be restriped and any valves or utilities raised to be flush with the road surface. For areas that require thermal striping, this is usually applied 30 days after the application has taken place.
