The WIRTGEN BSM Laboratory Manual

Testing and Optimizing Mixes

WIRTGEN’s laboratory equipment, consisting of:

  • The WLB 10 S foamed bitumen unit
  • The WLM 30 twin-shaft pugmill
  • The WLV 1 laboratory compactor

enables the simple and rapid production of mixes and test specimens to verify the suitability of the building materials or mixes for the intended purpose and to determine the optimum type and quantity of binding agent for the highest possible durability and usability.

An important aspect of suitability testing is that it takes place prior to construction. Tests that are initiated during construction, on the other hand, only serve the purpose of internal monitoring. WIRTGEN'S Hands-On Guide to the BSM Laboratory explains the correct and realistic approach to suitability testing and internal monitoring when recycling road construction materials with foamed bitumen.
