RUBBLIZATION AND ASPHALT OVERLAY

The public increasingly demands quick, safe, and efficient rehabilitation techniques that will minimize disruption on local business and traffic. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) has found rubblization and asphalt overlay to be an excellent option for rehabilitation of deteriorated portland cement concrete pavement. WisDOT's 8.5-mi (13.7-km) Highway 12 rehabilitation project, completed in 1998, is the state's largest rubblization project to date. Several options were considered for the project, but rubblization with a structural overlay emerged as the favored option, with costs far below the other options. Production rates on the Highway 12 project for the rubblizing were approximately 500 ft (152 m) per hour.
