Cracking and Seating is a practical and economical method of preventing reflective cracking in asphalt overlays on concrete roads. Crack and Seat is one of the most popular carriageway repair systems in the UK and Ireland.

The Crack and Seat process can be used where the existing concrete slab is a minimum of 100mm thick and of Pavement Quality Strength.

The basic construction process for building a road is similar for any road. The differences arise in the finishing of the road or the surface materials used to finish a road. The process begins with road design, including surveying the route, allowing for drainage and considering the expected volume of traffic and planned development in the area. Next, the important base layers are completed using graders, bulldozers, compactors and levelers, and then the surface layer is applied.
