Existing roadways with failed asphalt and chip seal can be crushed in-situ and the failed surface incorporate into a fresh homogenised layer. This results in less differential settlement being reflected through the asphalt wearing course. The same can be said for aged stone laneways. Stabilised roads can be reworked to reduce your maintenance programme.
Our road recycling process works as follows:
The crusher crushes the ripped material to create enough fines to bind the road thus creating the top surface.
The crusher will crusher stone up to 20inches, excluding solid stone/rock. This is also ideal for crushing field stone where for example, boundaries have been knocked.
The Kirpy crusher contains a anvil that allows you to change of material size. We feel the Kirpy crusher is the strongest built machine for this type of work and produces the best results as crushing stone is a heavy job on machinery.
The key to having a greater lifespan for your laneway is to eliminate surface water. At this stage we use the grader bland to create a camber or fall in whatever direction is best suited to carry away rainwater. Three double acting services control the offset, grade and pitch of the blade. We would also advise digging water cuttings where possible through ditches.
For compaction, the vibrating plates are unrivaled to create the finished roadway with their unique ability to follow the camber of the road. Three independent plates vibrate the stone and the stones surrounding. The compaction and subsequent exclusion of air pockets reduces the ingress of water and the overall longevity of the road.
To further enhance the road and give a longer life span, the introduction of binding agents to the roadway enhances the performance of the roadway and bind the aggregate to create a surface with improved durability. The inclusion of cement can create an effective surface for use in yards and as an alternative to concrete in many cases.
After spreading our binding agent, we then have to pulverise the material. Using our FAE MTM drum, we can mix the material to any depth up to 250mm and also have a water system on board so we can incorporate water in the one pass, increasing or decreasing the volume of water at the touch of a button.
