What You'll See

  • Initial transverse and longitudinal cracking appearing
  • Minor surface raveling or weathering at edges
  • Slight color fading from original dark asphalt
  • Pavement structure remains fully intact
  • No rutting, potholes, or base failure

ORCA AI Detection

  • Low-density linear cracking detected in imagery
  • Minor color variation indicating surface aging
  • Edge deterioration patterns beginning to form
  • High confidence classification (>90%)

Recommended Action

Preventive maintenance. This is the ideal time for preservation treatments like crack sealing, fog seals, or thin chip seals. Addressing cracking now prevents water infiltration and extends pavement life by 5-8 years at minimal cost.

Estimated Treatment Cost

Crack sealing: $1-2/linear foot. Fog seal or rejuvenator: $1-3/sq yd. Chip seal: $3-6/sq yd. These low-cost treatments at this stage are the best return on investment in your pavement budget.

Preserve — Act Now to Save Later

Every $1 spent on preservation at PASER 7 saves $6-8 in future rehabilitation costs. This is the sweet spot for preventive maintenance.
