Tracked Treads (Continuous Track) Resistant Pavement TREAD RESISTANT ASPHALT

Category :
    Paving Methods > Roadway > Flow / Abrasion / Skid Resistance  > 

Pavement with superior load-bearing capacity and durability that can moreover economically accommodate heavy loads

Overview

This tracked treads resistant pavement is made with a special gap-graded asphalt mixture fortified with hard asphalt cement (Tread Resistant Asphalt) and is used to constitute the surface layer of asphalt pavement.

Features

  1. Capable of substantially resisting tracked treads’ movements and the rotations of solid tires.
  2. Superior impact resistance and load-bearing capacity.
  3. More affordable than concrete pavement.
  4. Excellent abrasion resistance and resistance to the freeze-thaw cycle.

Uses

  • Runways on which tracked vehicles with tracked treads (continuous track) and super-heavy-load vehicles run and heavy equipment pools
  • Material storage yards, log yards, physical distribution facilities
  • Bridge surface pavements
  • Roads in snowy and cold regions
Application example to construction machinery factory
General roads on which tracked vehicles run
Left : Heavy equipment pools
Right : In-plant passageways subjected to super-heavy loads
