Abstract
A system for processing a pavement reinstatement includes a weighing apparatus (502) for measuring a mass of reinstatement material. A reinstatement apparatus (10) is adapted to receive reinstatement dimension information and reinstatement material information and adapted to determine a required reinstatement material mass, and to provide a target air voids content of the reinstatement. The reinstatement apparatus is optionally adapted to receive an indication of the mass measured by the weighing apparatus and the indication is a verification of the weighing apparatus having measured the required mass.
Claims17
A system for processing a pavement reinstatement, the system comprising:
- a weighing apparatus for measuring a mass of reinstatement material;
- and
- a reinstatement apparatus adapted to receive reinstatement dimension information and reinstatement material information and adapted to determine a required reinstatement material mass, whereby to provide a target air voids content of the reinstatement;
- wherein the reinstatement comprises a first layer of a first material and a second layer of a second material, and wherein the reinstatement apparatus is adapted to determine a required first reinstatement material mass and a required second reinstatement material mass to provide a first target air voids content of the first layer and a second target air voids content of the second layer;
- wherein the first material is a binder material and the second material is a surface material.
A method of processing a pavement reinstatement, the method comprising determining a required reinstatement material mass from reinstatement dimension information and from reinstatement material information in order to provide a target air voids content of the reinstatement;
- wherein the reinstatement comprises a first layer of a first material and a second layer of a second material, and wherein the method further comprises determining a required first reinstatement material mass and a required second reinstatement material mass to provide a first target air voids content of the first layer and a second target air voids content of the second layer;
- wherein the first material is a binder material and the second material is a surface material.
