Integrated Pavement Solutions

What Integrated Pavement Solutions does

Integrated Pavement Solutions (IPS), founded in 2014 and headquartered in St. George, Utah, manufactures and markets HA5 High Density Mineral Bond, a proprietary pavement preservation treatment engineered to extend the service life of asphalt roadways. The core technology combines a specialized non-ionic emulsion — capable of carrying mineral types incompatible with standard anionic or cationic emulsions — with an ultra-dense blend of angular fine aggregates and UV-deflecting polymers. HA5 is positioned as the first product to meet the High Density Mineral Bond specification, a category established by agency engineers after a decade of field performance evaluation, and is supported by published third-party research documenting a 67% delay in asphalt binder age-hardening and an 857% reduction in cracking versus untreated sections over a 9-year side-by-side comparison.

The company generates revenue primarily through sales of the HA5 product to a curated network of approved installation contractors — including Andale Construction, Denler, Holbrook Asphalt, Vulcan Materials Company, Cactus, and VB — who apply the treatment on behalf of end customers. IPS targets three vertical segments: public agencies (over 200 municipalities, counties, and state DOTs), school districts and universities, and private communities/HOAs. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific with no published rates; the company markets under the "Preserve Asphalt" trade name and reports 600 million+ square feet of installed product across 25 US states.

In January 2026, IPS was acquired by Pavement Preservation Group (PPG), a portfolio company of middle-market private equity firm The Sterling Group, alongside Holbrook Asphalt. The transaction positions IPS within a multi-brand pavement preservation platform intended to expand national geographic coverage and service capacity, with IPS now operating as a subsidiary brand under the PPG umbrella.

Direct peers

• SealMaster: Leading manufacturer of pavement sealers and asphalt preservation products with a contractor distribution model closely mirroring IPS's approved-installer approach.
• Suit-Kote: Asphalt emulsion manufacturer and pavement preservation service provider operating across the Northeast and Midwest. Direct competitor on asphalt emulsions used in surface treatments.
• Holbrook Asphalt: Pavement preservation contractor and manufacturer co-acquired with IPS by PPG in January 2026. Operates as a sibling company under the same PE platform — direct overlap in pavement preservation services and channel.
• Crafco: Manufacturer of pavement preservation and maintenance products including asphalt emulsions, sealants, crack sealants and surface treatments. Direct product-line overlap with IPS in asphalt preservation chemistry.
• Vance Brothers: Provider of asphalt emulsions, sealcoating and pavement preservation services across the central US. Competes with HA5 in the municipal and commercial preservation segment.
• Corrective Asphalt Materials (CAM): Specialty manufacturer of asphalt emulsions, sealants and preservation products serving DOT, commercial and residential markets. Overlapping specialty emulsion product portfolio with HA5.

Broad incumbents

• Vulcan Materials Company: Largest US producer of construction aggregates and an approved IPS channel partner. As a vertically integrated paving materials giant, Vulcan is both a distribution channel for HA5 and a potential competitor in pavement preservation solutions.
• CRH / Oldcastle Materials: Vertically integrated aggregates, asphalt paving and pavement services operation through Oldcastle. A scaled incumbent whose asphalt pavement maintenance work overlaps the preservation adjacency.
• Granite Construction: Major US heavy-civil contractor and pavement services provider with broad public-agency relationships that overlap IPS's municipal and state DOT customer base.

Emerging players

• Pavement Preservation Systems: Regional pavement preservation applicator and contractor. Smaller, regionally focused operator that competes for the same school-district, HOA and municipal preservation business as IPS.
