In today’s construction market, there is a recognized need that once a rehabilitation project has been identified, the use of long-term durable solutions must be found that would meet the needs of engineering and construction while minimizing the amount of down time required for project installations. This can all be eliminated should the designers make a choice to provide a wearing course that is also a waterproofing system. One alternative method used by many states on several Interstate projects is Rosphalt 50. Using standard paving equipment, you can install an wearing course and waterproofing system in one step. “Get In—Get Out!” Rosphalt 50 is a “Dry Mix” polymer additive introduced directly to the heated aggregates that coats these aggregates prior to the blending of the asphalt content. This material will then enhance the standard HMA or Superpave design significantly providing increased tensile, elongation, and hence resilience characteristics decreasing the potential of permanent deformation or rutting. The coating process provides a superior material that can be used in designs as a one-step solution in paving operations providing waterproofing and wearing course that ultimately saves more than 50 percent in traffic control concerns of today’s construction business. 68 • Hot Mix Asphalt Technology – JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2008 The Roadtec booth will showcase the company’s entire product line from cold planers and soil stabilizers to Shuttle Buggy® MTV’s and pavers.
