FOG SEAL Clause Samples
The FOG SEAL clause defines the requirements and procedures for applying a fog seal, which is a thin layer of asphalt emulsion sprayed over an existing pavement surface. This clause typically specifies the type of emulsion to be used, the application rate, surface preparation steps, and curing times before the road can be reopened to traffic. By outlining these standards, the clause ensures that the fog seal is applied effectively to extend pavement life, improve surface appearance, and protect against weathering and minor surface defects.
