Rubberized Asphalt Concrete

 

Technology: Rubberized Asphalt Concrete

What is it?
A road paving material made by blending ground-up recycled tires  with asphalt to produce a binder which is then mixed with conventional aggregate materials. This mix is then placed and compacted into a road surface.

Benefits:
a. Resists cracking, which reduces maintenance costs.
b. Lasts 50% longer than conventional materials, leading to lower resurfacing investment.
c. Preserves underlying pavement
d. Greener solution
e. Provides better skid resistance, thus increasing road safety

Technology

One-man operated truck that fills, flattens, and seals potholes in 30-90 seconds per pothole.

The operator points the patchers delivery nozzle at the pothole and sprays a mixture of asphalt emulsion and stone to fill the pothole which is then topped off by a barrier coating of material to prevent tracking while the repair sets up.

Benefits:

  • Longer, lasting pothole fillers (lasts 1-3 years)
  • Quick and efficient process (30-90 seconds per pothole compared to 2-10 minutes in DOT’s current pothole repair process)
  • Reduced labor cost (only one worker compared to the 4 man team in DOT’s current pothole repair process)
