179 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 8, ISSUE 6 JV I AT ION, A WOOLPERT COMPANY Asphalt Systems Inc has 25 years of innovative service to the aviation industry providing consultation and products to significantly extend the life of asphalt pavement. We manufacture products proven to be effective, economically exceptional, and environmentally friendly. We have relationships in all 50 states, as well as other countries, with aviation engineers, airport managers, agencies, contractors, and industry partners, and we are continually striving to increase the value we bring to all stages of a project. America’s most respected pavement experts determined that as much as 90% of airfield asphalt distresses are attributed to common surface oxidation. Oxidation breaks down the essential oils and resins significantly deceasing flexibility and aggregate adhesion (asphalt based FOD). Save the oils and resins from oxidation, save the pavement. Studies have shown that high quality asphalt surface treatments, such as specified in FAA P-608, applied early in the pavement life and with regular timely reapplications, mitigates the deteriorating effects of surface oxidation. A scheduled maintenance program can double the service life of an airports most valuable asset. Let us help. Our Aviation Experts provide free consultation for all project stakeholders, insights to optimize the treatments, and onsite specification support representatives during projects, all to improve the overall quality of the project for the owner. ......

What’s more, we try to bring solutions to the table that can address not only the community concerns but also bring the airport what it wants. We start at a high level with the FAA but then work at a more granular level with the community.” In order for Jviation to meet the many challenges that surround each airport project, the company adopts a master planning approach that takes into account what the future is likely to hold for the airport over the next five, 10, or 20 years. Airport communities are extremely dynamic and so Jviation engages in consultation at the community, airport, and state level. One example of the unique challenges faced by the company involved a project for Jackson Hole Airport in Wyoming.
