Shopping for pavement can be stressful. Every asphalt contractor offers the same thing and claims to have the best product and customer service.
But Ottawa asphalt has had it’s fair share of issues. The 2016 auditor general’s report on premature failing asphalt after only 1-3 years revealed serious problems in Ottawa’s asphalt supply. With asphalt, home owners never know how long before their new asset will begin to crack and deteriorate to an ugly mess.
Then there’s the sealing, crack repair, asphalt patching… Yikes.
TAC Black uses liquid asphalt PLUS proprietary additives designed to increase lifespan in our Canadian climates. TAC Ottawa gets to control the AC-content in our pavement, rather than hope the asphalt manufacturer hasn’t used an inappropriate amount of recycled asphalt (as noted in the Auditor General’s report of 2016).
TAC 2.0 involves following government spec for roadway construction. However, with TAC Black, in addition to everything included in a regular TAC, we also install a load-support system under the pavement prior to paving. This is huge. Load support is typically used on new roads to oil fields for heavy equipment. We’ve made it a part of our paving process for driveways!
After load support is installed, we laser-fine grade the base to completion, install TAC 2.0 and finish with the clean liquid asphalt coating. That’s how you build better pavement. That’s how we will make asphalt driveways obsolete!

TAC Black is one of our most popular innovations from 2015 for great reason:
We used to stay away from comparing our pavement to asphalt. This year is different. With the auditor general’s report revealing so many issues in asphalt, it’s very difficult to know what you’re getting. This is not to say that Ottawa paving contractors are at fault. We don’t believe they are. According to Canada, the issues lie somewhere in the Ottawa asphalt supply chain.
TAC Black is not dependent on a quality asphalt supply (thank god). Our team, research and development, pavement recipe, partners and management all come together to bring you the future of Ottawa paving. We’re offering a better pavement with the highest possible lifetime value.
Golf course owners, SkyDive airport runways, government roadways, parking lot owners and home owners alike are all recognizing TAC Black as The Smart Way to Pave.
