Our objective is to safely deliver 100 percent complete construction projects that meet all contract and customer expectations the first time, every time. What this commitment to quality means for us is:

Burnaby Blacktop identifies a list of work tasks which will be quality controlled. Each work task is subject to a series of inspections; before, during, and after completion.
Each inspection verifies compliance with full scope of the relevant specifications; not limited to inspection form protocols. Work-in-process inspections continuously verify that work conforms to project specifications and quality expectations. Work continues only when it does not adversely affect quality results. There are areas of the work which are hand laid or hand finished which may show limited desegregation of the mineral materials, which shows as less pleasing to the eye but is not a quality issue.
At completion of the work task an inspection verifies that work has been completed in accordance with project quality requirements.
For more information, please refer to the Burnaby Blacktop Ltd QA/QC Plan February 01, 2022
Should a problem occur in the quality of work, we systematically contain the issue and quickly make corrections. Our first action is to clearly mark the item by tape, tag, or other easily observable signal to prevent inadvertent cover-up.
Then we expedite a corrective action that brings the workmanship or material issue into conformance by repair, replacement, or rework. Previously completed work is reinspected for similar nonconformances. If we cannot correct the item to meet contract specifications, the customer will be notified, and customer approval
of corrective actions is required before proceeding.
Fixing problems found is not sufficient. Burnaby Blacktop Ltd systematically prevents recurrences to improve quality.

Asphalt surfaces completed by Burnaby Blacktop Ltd. will be guaranteed for a period of 2 years from the date of completion against cracking, depressions subject to the following limitations:
Cracking: This warranty shall cover major cracking, which is shown to exist down to the sub-base level. Hairline cracks resulting from expansion and contraction of the asphalt surface due to weather conditions as well as cracks caused by the heaving of a culvert, tree root, underground cables and pipes are not covered by this warranty. Thin overlays are not warrantable. Any resultant cracking which is covered by this warranty will be repaired by Burnaby Blacktop Ltd. at no charge to the customer using asphalt/cement or rubberized crack filler.
Depressions: This warranty shall cover depressions more than 1” in depth. Depressions caused by the heaving of a culvert pipe, catch basins, underground cables and pipes and inadequate compaction of sub-base and base course of granular materials completed by others are not covered by this warranty. Any resultant depression which is covered by this warranty will be repaired by Burnaby Blacktop Ltd. at no charge to the customer using a tack-coated layer of asphalt over the affected area.
Burnaby Blacktop Ltd. warrantees materials and workmanship for a period of one year, which is standard for the industry. However, of great importance to us more than abandoning our client at some point past warranty, is remaining engaged to provide peace of mind, and solutions to meet the clients long term needs.
Workmanship means asphalt thickness is as designated, along with proper compaction and drainage. Swales and berms may be used to assist in drainage issues as well as skin lift asphalt patches if necessary. Industry standards include the possibility of 1/4″ ponding of water that may occur if grades are below minimum asphalt standards of .25 per foot pitch. We cannot guarantee against minor ponding which can occur at joints. If there is any standing water after 48-hours this constitutes a drainage issue and will be addressed if less than 85% water drainage.
Materials (i.e., granular mineral materials, asphalt cement, HMA designs) are subject to rigorous testing, and other controls. See Burnaby Blacktop Ltd QA/QC Plan.
We will not cover damages caused by vegetation growth, acts of nature, and will not accept liability where our products have been used for any inappropriate purpose or any customer driven damages such as cracks or breaks incurred due to overloading or driving on or near the unsupported edges, tire marks, scratches or unsightly marks caused by sharp objects or overloading, stains caused by oil or gas leakage, damages done due to the use of snow blowers, chemicals, shovels, heavy traffic and snow plows. We live in a climate where frost is in and out of the ground several times each year. We will not accept liability for water ponding or retention unless specified in the contract and will not be held responsible for cracking or premature deterioration when overlaying deteriorated asphalt or concrete. Burnaby Blacktop Ltd will not take responsibility for any damage to concrete, paver bricks, garage floors, treated or stained concrete, sidewalks, existing asphalt, or siding. Damage caused by equipment crossing, rolling, driving, or normal installation is not covered although we make every effort to be as careful as possible.

Congratulations on your newly constructed driveway or parking lot! You have decided asphalt is the product which will meet your needs for the long term, and you have made a wise choice. The properties of modern asphalt mix-designs are:
When you chose asphalt over concrete you chose a less rigid and more economical product featuring a quicker turnaround in installation. While neither product can do everything, both are the most common and effective roadway solutions on the planet: 100% recyclable, and tough as nails! The inherent limitations can be simplified by saying that under sufficient stress concrete will crack, while asphalt under stress can scuff, or push.
You will enjoy the benefits of your new parking surface for many years with very little maintenance, then when it comes time to perform repairs you will discover how asphalt is eminently repairable. To get the most out of your investment, please follow these suggestions:
Enjoy this new extension of your home or business! Asphalt will withstand snowplows, and salting. Asphalt loves road hockey, and hoops as well!
