Hot-In-Place Recycling Train
running continuously
Times
Avenue in Xuzhou is the main road passing through the High-Tech Development
Zone and the Central Business District. Having opened for traffic more than 10
years, the Avenue has come across heavy traffic which induced different kinds
of road distress like gator cracks, ravelling, longitudinal and transverse cracks.
“Road Doctor” has formulated solutions to specific distresses: pre-treated the
base course, and then applied Hot-In-Place Surface Recycling Technology for
pavement surface recovery.
Efficient road repair can
open for traffic in two hours
The
dragon-like orange Hot-In-Place Recycling Train consists of different modules.
The modular equipment entered the site and was ready for works within 30
minutes. Upon completing the repair, the modules left the site like normal
trucks. The entrance, operation, and exit of the Train occupied only one lane,
which minimize the traffic disturbance.
During
the process, the Train moves in 4-6 m/min, which is three times faster than
traditional repair. And, most of the asphalt concrete on the pavement could be
reused, which could save considerable costs of new materials. By means of the Hot-In-Place
Recycling Technology, the life span of recovery is more than three time than
that by the traditional method, which substantially enhanced the roadway serviceability.
