Sealcoating is a highly effective and economical way to help achieve the longest life possible for your asphalt pavement. Sealcoating acts as a barrier against potentially damaging elements, including UV rays, automotive fluids and deicing chemicals. In addition, sealcoating refreshes the color and improves the appearance of asphalt pavement. However, although there are some parts of the country in which sealcoating can be applied during virtually any month, in Central Kentucky, this is not the case. Most sealcoating jobs are performed between May 1 and September 30, but the month of May is actually the perfect time for sealcoating in this area. Why Is May the Best Month for Sealcoating in Central Kentucky? Sealcoating can be a tricky material. It must be mixed correctly and applied properly if the job is to succeed. However, the weather conditions play a critical role …show more content…
All sealcoating manufacturers recommend virtually identical conditions as ideal for sealcoating. Pavement and ambient temperatures should be at least 50 degrees and not fall below that for 24 hours after the sealant is applied. Ideally, the maximum temperature should be below 70 degrees with a relative humidity of 50 percent or less. Ideal wind speeds are around 4 mph. Sealcoating should not be exposed to precipitation for at least 24 hours. In Central Kentucky, the normal conditions match the ideal recommendations rather closely during the month of May. May is the first month in which historical overnight lows average above 50 degrees and daytime highs are just above 70 degrees. The average humidity is below 20 percent, but by July, humidity normally exceeds 60 percent. Historically, the wind speeds during May are perfect for sealcoating. The only thing that is not perfect is that May tends to be one of the rainiest months of the year in this area, so sealcoating contractors must keep a sharp eye on the weather forecasts when scheduling sealcoating
When the population of a town increases by more than 318 percent during a single decade — as Manor did between 2000 and 2010 — it is a sign that people are highly attracted to the town. In 2000, Manor was a sleepy little town with approximately 1,200 people, but by 2010, over 5,000 people called it home.

The purpose of this report is determine if sodium chloride is a viable option as a deicer on winter roads. To determine this, one must compare a multitude of factors. In this lab, the freezing point depression of water, enthalpy of dissolution, cost, and environmental impact will be discussed. A large factor in how effective a substance is as a deicer is it’s ability to decrease the freezing point of water. If the freezing point of water can be lowered, the outside temperature must be much colder to reach this new freezing point, resulting in less ice on the roads.

The Average Maximum Temperature is 85.8°F in July, whereas the Lowest Average Minimum Temperature is 23.9°F in January. Also noted is the Average Annual Snowfall of 10.7 inches. Scientists are finding that the aquifer could be at risk with the climbing climate. It triggers an increase in rainfall rather than snowfall in the mountains resulting in less groundwater. Reduction of water supply is also because of streamflow timing due to increased

Do you think Alice Thornton’s proposal to decentralize the rules and procedures of Cosmo Plastics will work? Alice proposal of decentralizing the rules and procedures in Cosmo Plastics has a bigger chance of working out in a big company with different departments and great number of employees, because then daily operations and decision-making are divided into different authorities in the organization from the top managements, to the middle and lower level managements.
