OAKLAND PROVES OUT HEATER-REMIX OVERLAY METHOD

THE HEATER--REMIX METHOD OF RESURFACING ROADS HAS BEEN GAINING INCREASED ATTENTION FROM HIGHWAY DEPARTMENTS, AIRPORTS, AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, PARTICULARLY IN THE REPAIR OF ASPHALT PAVEMENTS BEYOND THEIR DESIGN CAPACITIES. THE PROCESS, INCORPORATING AN ASPHALT- REJUVENATING TREATMENT, HAS BEEN FOUND TO OFFER A BETTER, MORE SECURE BOND BETWEEN OLD ASPHALT AND NEW OVERLAY THAN RESULTS FROM THE NORMAL METHOD OF TACK COAT AND OVERLAY COMMONLY USED. THE PROCESS OF USING A LIQUID EMULSION CALLED RECLAMITE ON A HEAVILY TRAFFICKED AVENUE IN OAKLAND (CALIF.) IS DESCRIBED IN DETAIL.
