TEFLON-LINED PAVER PLACES POLYMER CONCRETE SURFACE

Two bridges in Chillicothe, Ohio, and six in Columbus, Ohio, were repaired using an asphalt paver modified by a 12-ft.-long, teflon-coated auger to distribute the mix and teflon linings on all exposed surfaces of the machine. The $400,000 Chillicothe job involved 4000 sq. yd. of deck, while the $900,000 Columbus job totalled 7500 sq. yd. Mobilization, traffic control and patching of the old decks accounted for about 3/4 of the cost of each project. The 3/4-in. polymer concrete deck overlays cost about $30 per sq. yd., including all preparatory and placement work. This article provides information on deck preparation, polymer concrete mixing, and overlay placement.
