“Slurry surfacing is a thin bituminous surface course incorporating bitumen emulsion, graded aggregate, and fillers to restore the surface condition on roads, footways, cycle paths, car parks, playgrounds, central reservations, traffic islands and amenity areas. Slurry Seal treatment is also known as Microsurfacing, which will form a new surface to the footway and protect the existing structure, prolonging the life expectancy, as well as providing a uniform appearance and better slip resistance, all with minimum inconvenience to residents”
