NEW METHODS FOR SURFACING MAINTENANCE

NYA METODER FOER UNDERHAALL AV BELAEGGNINGAR

These methods have in common that maintenance work can be limited to the damaged part of the carriageway. By using these methods the carriageway profile will not be raised, which eliminates adjustments of kerbs and footways. Most of the methods reduce the consumption of materials. The methods also provide considerable resistance against wear from studded tyres. In spite of the thin overlay it is possible to use mixtures containing particles of 16 mm. The methods presented are: milling action followed by laying of new wearing course, edge heating followed by laying of new wearing course, the heating method, the cutler method and laying of mastic asphalt in the wheel tracks. /TRRL/
