There are numerous benefits to whitetopping. One is that whitetopping strengthens the deteriorated HMA pavement, extending the service life of the highway or airport pavement. Second, whitetopping can provide a smooth ride that can significantly improve the functional life of the pavement. As opposed to full reconstruction with a new base course, whitetopping utilizes the existing HMA pavement as a solid base course, providing additional stability. This, in turn, reduces the potential for pumping, faulting, and loss of pavement support.
