What Asphalt Paving Systems does
Asphalt Paving Systems, Inc. is a specialty pavement preservation and road reconstruction contractor founded in 1985 in Hammonton, New Jersey by Bob Capoferri (originally as Shore Slurry Seal, rebranded to APS in 2000). The company provides pavement preservation services (microsurfacing, slurry seal, chip seal, cape seal, ultra-thin overlays, fog seal, crack sealing, and micro pave joints), recycling and reconstruction services (cold-in-place recycling, full depth reclamation, HMA paving, concrete construction, drainage and pipe work), and materials supply (asphalt emulsions and tack coats across multiple grades) along with AASHTO-accredited laboratory testing through its wholly owned subsidiary Construction Testing Services.
The customer base is exclusively governmental — state, county, and municipal transportation departments — and the company holds approved-supplier status across seven state DOTs (NJ, NY, PA, DE, MD, GA, FL). Service delivery is anchored by vertically integrated material production: three emulsion plants and a state-of-the-art hot mix asphalt plant at Zephyrhills, Florida (one of only a handful of U.S. locations combining both facilities), with an additional AASHTO-accredited lab generating testing and R&D revenue. APS serves 101-250 employees across offices in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida (Tampa and Cocoa Beach), Georgia, Tennessee, and an Alabama office forthcoming.
APS operates as part of Pavement Preservation Group, a portfolio company of The Sterling Group, following its May 19, 2026 acquisition — its first transaction in business services and its first in New Jersey. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting public infrastructure owners through direct contract procurement; pricing is contract-based and not publicly disclosed. High-profile reference projects include the Brooklyn Bridge, JFK, Newark, LaGuardia, and Philadelphia International airports, the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, and a USAF base in the Azores, Portugal.

Products and services
- Pavement Preservation A suite of cost-effective and environmentally friendly surface treatments (microsurfacing, slurry seal, chip seal, cape seal, ultra-thin overlays, crack sealing, fog seal) that extend the life of existing pavements for government clients.
- Microsurfacing & High Performance Slurry Seal A pavement preservation technique using polymer modified asphalt emulsion, fine graded crushed aggregate, and mineral filler to create a hard asphalt wearing surface that seals against moisture intrusion, prevents oxidation, and restores skid resistance and ride quality.
- Chip & Cape Seal A pavement surface treatment combining asphalt emulsion or modified performance grade asphalts with fine aggregate layers to create an impermeable, skid-resistant wearing course. Cape Seal is the process of placing Microsurfacing or Slurry Seal over Chip Seal.
- Ultra Thin Overlay A high-performance surface course applied over asphalt or concrete pavements using a one-pass construction process with polymer modified asphalt emulsion membrane followed by ultrathin HMA, providing superior bonding and surface protection.
- Crack Seal & Crack Filling A polymer modified rubber blend that produces flexible repairs to pavement cracks and construction joints, helping keep water out of the subbase to yield longer pavement service life.
- Fog Seal A light application of diluted slow-setting asphalt emulsion to aged (oxidized) pavement surfaces to restore flexibility and temporarily postpone the need for surface treatment or overlay.
- Cold-in-Place Recycling (CIR) A cost-effective reconstruction method that recycles 100% of existing asphalt and a predetermined portion of base material, offering environmentally friendly roadway widening and reconstruction.
- Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) A high-production, low-impact reconstruction method involving pulverizing the entire asphaltic surface and underlying base materials while injecting additives to a depth of 8-12 inches, improving ride quality and structural strengths.
- Concrete Construction Full-service concrete construction including curbing, sidewalks, ADA compliance, and heavy highway general contracting with over 30 years of construction experience.
- Drainage & Pipe Work Stormwater management services including drainage and pipework installation with extensive experience handling severe weather events and environmental regulations.
- HMA Paving Quality hot mix asphalt paving for rural municipal roads to highways with significant average daily traffic (ADT), including superior HMA repairs, road repaving, and reconstruction for public or private customers.
- Asphalt Emulsions & Tack Coats Production and supply of asphalt emulsions and tack coats for multiple state DOTs. Products include CSS-1, CSS-1H, CRS-1, CRS-1H, AET-C, High Performance Trackless Tack, CRS-1P, CSS-1HPM, CQS-1HPM, CRS-2, CRS-2PM, CRS-2N, and Joint Bond.
- Hot Mix Asphalt Hot mix asphalt produced at the state-of-the-art Zephyrhills, Florida facility using the latest technologies to produce superior asphalt mixes for municipal, state, and private projects.
- Equipment Rental Rental services for state-of-the-art equipment including Spray Paver, Pulverizer, Milling, and Micro Milling machines, operated by highly trained and qualified staff.
- Construction Testing Services AASHTO-accredited laboratory operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary, specializing in testing and analysis of emulsified asphalts, PG, and aggregates, and performing shear and bond strength testing for tack coats.
