𝐑𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐩𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐝𝐮𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬: 1. Heavy Traffic Loads: Repeated weight from vehicles, especially heavy trucks, compresses the pavement layers. 2. Inadequate Compaction: Poor compaction during construction can lead to deformation under load. 3. Weak Subgrade: Insufficient support from the underlying soil allows pavement layers to sink. 4. High Temperatures: Heat softens asphalt, making it more susceptible to deformation. 5. Poor Drainage: Water infiltration weakens the pavement structure. To prevent rutting, ensure proper design, material selection, and maintenance practices. Source: FB Highway engineering #Transportation #Highway #Construction

Sealoflex: PMB Bitumen & Clear Binder for Long Lasting, Circular and Low Temperature Asphalt | Area Manager Europe Ooms Producten
We analyzed options for the maintenance of Runway 10.28 with a 15-year design life. The key requirement was to limit reflective cracking to <1% after 3 years and <15% after 10 years. Two viable options emerged: 1: Overlay with Sealoflex® SFB 5-50 (HT) asphalt BC (50mm) + conventional Marshall asphalt (100mm). 2: Asphalt reinforcement PG 100 + Sealoflex® SFB 5-50 (HT) asphalt BC (50mm) + conventional Marshall asphalt (100mm). These options met design criteria, reducing asphalt thickness by 70mm and enabling faster maintenance with lean asphalt construction. - Benefits of Sealoflex®: - Saving on raw materials - Lower costs - Shorter implementation period - Reduction of Co2 emissions

When it comes to road construction, selecting the right granular material is crucial for ensuring strength and durability. Single-sized materials may be easier to work with, but they are prone to collapse under load and shear failure. On the other hand, well-graded granular materials offer significantly improved resilience and load-bearing capacity. Well-graded materials are composed of a range of particle sizes, including fines that fill the voids between larger particles, resulting in better packing and interlocking. This enables the material to distribute loads more effectively, making it more resistant to shear failure and less prone to settling and consolidating. Using well-graded granular material offers several technical advantages, including improved load-bearing capacity, enhanced resilience, economical design, and better compaction. By optimizing particle sizes based on local availability of resources, well-graded materials can be tailored to meet specific road project requirements. Choosing the right granular material is essential for building durable and long-lasting roads. Don't compromise on quality, invest in well-graded granular materials for a better performing road. #roadconstruction #materials #engineering

Project Engineer | Expert in Roads and Infrastructure Development | Proven Track Record in Project Management | Building Strong Foundations for Success ⚒️
𝗙𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗘𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🛣️ This image illustrates the five main layers of road construction that make the road strong and durable: 1. Flexible Pavement: - The flexible surface that bears the traffic load. 2. Asphalt Coating: - The surface layer that prevents water absorption. 3. Base: - The main foundation that provides strength to the road. 4. Sub base: - The layer that supports the base, distributing the load evenly. 5. Earth: - The lowest layer that supports the entire structure. This road construction technique ensures that roads remain durable and safe for a long time. Without this technique, roads could quickly become damaged and cause traffic disruptions. #CivilEngineering #RoadConstruction #Infrastructure #Engineering #RoadSafety

Big shoutout to Mark Payne for putting GroundWorks Safety Systems on my radar! During our Trench and Excavation course at DDS Companies I like to show the video showing a timed setup and teardown and open it up for discussion on some things that our men like with it and what they may see has a flaw when used in the field. One of the most common takeaways is no more wrestling with spreader bars and risking putting their bodies in the "line of fire". This system's all about safety and efficiency. Let's be real, in our line of work, time is money. With GroundWorks, one operator can handle setup and teardown solo. That's a game-changer, folks. Can't wait to see these babies in action out in the field! Let's keep the crew safe and the job running smooth. 💪 #GroundWorksSafety #builttobuild #HardHatHeroes #hardworkpaysoff #DDSCompanies #Drivenworkforce #BuiltInBoots #detailoriented #Construction #ConstructionCrew #Constructionlife #TrainingCenter #JoinToday #Safety #TrenchSaftey #DirtWorld #Earthmoving
