Asphalt paving technology on the fast lane.

The demands placed on pavement rehabilitation keep growing all the time. Jobs need to be completed ever more quickly, but with traffic continuing to move along smoothly all the same. This is where InLine Pave plays its aces. What is the sequence of operations? What are the logistical prerequisites that need to be met?

Road construction is facing ever-greater challenges: Roads are exposed to ever-increasing stresses caused by ever-increasing numbers of vehicles. Rehabilitation measures need to be carried out both quickly and with economic efficiency. Placing asphalt pavements in “hot-on-hot” application offers an efficient solution to this problem.

Paving hot-on-hot

With InLine Pave, the binder and surface courses are paved “in line”, meaning in immediate succession, “hot-on-hot”. The machines used for this application need a maximum space of just 3 m in width, so that traffic can continue to move along on the adjoining lanes.

Perfect bond between layers for an extended lifespan

Very high pre-compaction of the binder course prevents the materials of binder and surface course layers from getting mixed, guaranteeing the clean separation of both layers and an optimum surface seal. “Hot-on-hot” paving achieves an excellent bond between the binder and surface course layers, which not only dispenses with the need for applying a bitumen emulsion but also extends the service life of the road.
