THE USE OF SPECIAL PAVEMENT ON THE 3RD SECTION OF THE DOMODOSSOLA BYPASS ON SS33 "SEMPIONE"
L'IMPIEGO DI PAVIMENTAZIONE SPECIALI SUL 3 LOTTO DELLA VARIANTE DI DOMODOSSOLA DELLA SS33 "DEL SEMPIONE"
Two surfacing solutions adopted in the construction of the final section of the Domodossola bypass (state road SS33) are described: (a) an open textured, gap graded, 'drainage' surfacing (Betadrain) on the Toce viaduct; (b) the use of clear, high luminosity aggregates (Betalight) to produce a clear surface in the Monte Crevola tunnel. The Betadrain surfacing provided optimum adhesion and required less deicing treatment during winter, due to its porosity and better run off characteristics. The clear surfacing resulted in reduced energy consumption for tunnel lighting. (TRRL)
