Abstract
A pavement paving process including incorporating a rejuvenator in a layer of compacted millings to yield a layer of rejuvenated layer; and compacting a layer of aggregate over the layer of rejuvenated layer to protect the layer of rejuvenated layer and to cause the layer of aggregate to at least be partially infused with the layer of rejuvenated layer.
Claims19
A pavement paving process comprising:
- (a) incorporating a rejuvenator in a layer of asphalt millings to yield a layer of rejuvenated asphalt millings;
- and
- (b) compacting a layer of aggregate over said layer of rejuvenated asphalt millings to protect said layer of rejuvenated asphalt millings and to cause said layer of aggregate to at least be partially infused with said layer of rejuvenated asphalt millings.
A pavement paving process using asphalt millings, said process comprising:
- (a) incorporating a rejuvenator in a layer of the asphalt millings in a compacted form to yield a layer of rejuvenated asphalt millings, wherein said rejuvenator is configured to be applied at a rate of about 0.06 gallon per cubic yard of the layer of the millings;
- and
- (b) compacting a layer of aggregate over said layer of rejuvenated asphalt millings to protect said layer of rejuvenated asphalt millings and to cause said layer of aggregate to at least be partially infused with said layer of rejuvenated asphalt millings.
A pavement paving process using asphalt millings, said process comprising:
- (a) incorporating a rejuvenator in a layer of compacted millings to yield a layer of rejuvenated layer, wherein said rejuvenator is configured to be applied at a rate of about 0.05-0.07 gallon per cubic yard of asphalt millings;
- and
- (b) compacting a layer of aggregate over said layer of rejuvenated layer to protect said layer of rejuvenated layer and to cause said layer of aggregate to at least be partially infused with said layer of rejuvenated layer,
- wherein said compacting step is configured to be performed within about 1 hour of the start of said incorporating step and any one of said layer of rejuvenated asphalt millings and said layer of aggregate is disposed at at least about 70 degrees F.
