The French process, NOVACHIP, sometimes known as ultrathin friction course, is a new technology in the United States. NOVACHIP was successfully constructed on two highways in the San Antonio District of Texas. A research study was conducted by the FHWA, in cooperation with the Texas Department of Transportation to evaluate and document the NOVACHIP process and its performance. After 10 months of service, the NOVACHIP pavement surfaces are in excellent condition. They appear to be in essentially the same condition they were immediately after construction and will be monitored for 3 years and their performance documented. In general, NOVACHIP appears to have promise as a preventive maintenance treatment or surface rehabilitation technique for asphalt concrete pavements. It should offer engineers an alternative to chip seals, microsurfacing, open-graded friction courses, or thin asphalt concrete overlays.
