Asphalt is a material with very high adhesion that is made from the combination of gravel, sand and bitumen.
Asphalt
The meaning of asphalt work is the operation of running asphalt. Asphalt has three types: hot, cold and protective asphalt. If the process of mixing, spreading and densifying materials and bitumen is under heat, it is called hot asphalt, which has different types. If the mixing and compaction operations are carried out at ambient temperature, the asphalt is of cold type. Finally, protective asphalt is used when the goal is to increase wear and sliding resistance. In addition, the cost of implementing protective asphalt is very low compared to other types of asphalt.
Asphalt
Asphalt work and sanding depends on many factors that if it is not done in accordance with the standards, the desired result will not be achieved. These factors include; Air temperature and the season in which the operation is carried out, the speed of the wind and the physical properties of the materials used.
Remember, it is not possible to lay asphalt or gravel on a surface that is exposed to rain. The surface on which asphalt work or sanding is to be done must be completely clean and free of extra particles and pollution. After the surface is prepared, asphalt materials should be spread, so that it is ready to be pounded.
In spreading asphalt, compliance with uniformity is very important. Non-uniformity of asphalt spreading will cause unevenness in the surface. The thicker the asphalt, the longer the allowed time to beat it. The number and type of rollers needed to pound asphalt is determined based on the amount of asphalt used. After the operation, at least three hours are needed for the surface to be ready for traffic. Of course, don't forget, environmental factors and weather conditions also affect this time. Traffic in a short time after implementation will damage the asphalt.
