HOTMIX PAVER BREAKS THROUGH 40-FT MARK

A PAVER CAPABLE OF LAYING A 40 FT HOTMIX MAT IN ONE PASS HAS BEEN DEVELOPED BY WARREN BROTHERS ASPHALT PAVING, MEMPHIS, TENN. THE PAVER'S GUIDANCE SYSTEM, USES TWO STRINGLINES, ONE ON EACH END. THE PAVEMENT CROWNS AT ABOUT 1/3 THE DISTANCE IN FROM THE MEDIAN, THEN SLOPES RATHER SHARPLY DOWNWARD TO THE OUTER EDGE FOR DRAINAGE PURPOSES. A STRING IN THE PREVIOUSLY LAID MAT GIVES THE DRIVER A VISUAL GUIDE TO FOLLOW IN STEERING THE MACHINE.
