Oil and Stone/NovaChip Paving Process

Each year, the Town of Penfield treats approximately 10 percent of 150 miles of town-owned roads with an application of “oil and stone” to preserve the asphalt surface and extend the life of town roads.

The resurfacing project is scheduled to begin in May. The overall project schedule will vary depending on weather conditions and equipment availability.

The town does not apply oil and stone as an alternative to paving; instead, the surface treatment is preventative maintenance to prolong the life of roadways, similar to the practice of residential driveway sealing. Oil is applied to seal the pavement surface and fill any small surface cracks that allow water to get into the pavement and cause premature failure, shortening the life of the road. Crushed stone adds friction as a “wear surface” to minimize slippery roads and improve safety. Cul-de-sacs receive a micro-pave treatment in place of oil and stone.
