Slurry Pavers

What Slurry Pavers does

Slurry Pavers is a pavement preservation and construction services company founded in 1966 and headquartered in Richmond, Virginia. It provides asphalt road maintenance and construction services to state departments of transportation (DOTs), local municipalities and townships, and commercial property operators, with primary delivery concentrated in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast. The core technical offering is cold-mix paving systems — including slurry seal (extending road life 5–7+ years), polymer-modified latex micro surfacing (7+ years life extension and rut correction), chip seal (low-cost traction and sealing), Cape Seal (combined chip seal + slurry/micro), full depth reclamation (in-place recycling with lime or cement), and soil stabilization (base strengthening that reduces site prep costs 20–40%). These are executed by specialized field crews using proprietary equipment and material formulations produced in-house.

The company is structured as a family-owned, privately held Virginia corporation operating through three wholly-owned subsidiaries: Asphalt Emulsion Industries, which produces asphalt emulsion products and operates an AMRL-accredited testing and quality-control laboratory with approved specifications in Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia; Whitehurst Transport, which handles liquid asphalt and emulsion logistics along the East Coast from New Jersey to South Carolina; and Whitehurst Paving, one of the region's oldest and largest chip seal surface treatment contractors whose capabilities are combined with the Slurry Surfacing division to install Cape Seal.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services contracts delivered via direct, field-based enterprise sales to public-sector transportation authorities (e.g., VDOT, Minnesota DOT), local townships, and commercial customers (e.g., FedEx Field, Richmond Raceway). The company positions itself as an industry educator through partnerships with NCAT, FHWA, NCPP, PPRA, and ISSA, and differentiates on 58+ years of operational history, integrated materials-to-application control, and published pavement-condition and safety outcomes (e.g., a 20-year Minnesota DOT study cited as showing 76% accident reduction on bridges and overpasses). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; engagement is initiated through direct contact for estimates.

Products and services

• Slurry Seal A cold-mix paving system mixed on-site and applied wet, with traffic typically resuming within hours. Extends asphalt road life by 5-7+ years per treatment, enhances surface friction and safety, and corrects slight surface imperfections on low-volume roads. Targeted at state DOTs, municipalities, and commercial customers.
• Micro Surfacing A polymer-modified, latex-enriched cold-mix paving system that corrects rutting and surface irregularities on residential streets, highways, and airfields while providing skid-resistance and safety improvements. Extends road life by 7+ years. Targeted at state DOTs, municipalities, and commercial customers.
• Chip Seal A durable and cost-effective maintenance treatment combining asphalt emulsion, crushed rock, and sand that preserves roads while correcting multiple surface issues and providing traction and skid resistance. Targeted at state DOTs and local governments.
• Pavement Milling Service that removes old or failed pavement layers to a desired depth using specialized equipment, restoring the surface to a specified grade and preparing it for new asphalt overlay.
• Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) An environmentally friendly pavement reconstruction process that recycles existing asphalt by grinding and mixing it with additives (lime or cement) to create a new base, reducing project costs and environmental impact.
• Soil Stabilization Soil treatment service that blends additives such as lime, fly ash, or cement to create an upgraded, homogenous base up to 20 inches deep, increasing soil strength and load capacity for building foundations and pavements. Reduces site preparation costs by 20-40% and can extend pavement life up to 25 additional years.
• Pavement Sealing Application of various sealers including commercial sealants without coal tar and polymer-modified sealants to protect asphalt pavements against destructive elements and extend their lifespan.
• Crack and Joint Repair Crack sealing and joint repair services that reduce pavement deterioration and extend service life by preventing water penetration into the base, providing life extension of 5-7+ years.
• Pavement Striping Pavement marking services for new construction and re-striping using solvent-based paints, latex-based paints, and thermoplastic materials for roads, parking lots, bike routes, and specialty applications.
• Commercial Services Full-spectrum commercial pavement sealcoating, striping, maintenance, and repair services including asphalt milling, patching, crack sealing, full depth reconstruction, pavement markings, signage installation, speed bump installation, and wheel stop/bollard installation for commercial properties.
• Cape Seal A combination treatment using chip seal as the base layer with slurry seal or micro surfacing applied on top to address a broader range of road conditions at lower cost than traditional methods.
