The Minnesota Department of Transportation has concluded a research study on the proper techniques involved in seal coating. A key part of the research project involved performing seal coat designs using the procedure developed by Norman McLeod. In addition, research personnel were present on many seal coat construction projects assisting the inspector and contractor. The primary purpose of this handbook is to provide a solid background in seal coat materials, equipment, design and construction for the field inspector. Divided into two main sections, the handbook provides direction for designers and field personnel.
