Paving
Longer Life for Your Mat
For every ton of asphalt paved, your reputation is on the line. Asphalt producers and paving contractors take pride in delivering a durable road that lasts for 15 or 20 years or longer. Yet, sending segregated mix to the jobsite or laying a mat with patches of segregation can ruin a company's reputation, not to mention significantly affect the bottom line.
Today's new generation of MTVs lowers ground contact pressures and are easier to transport to/from the site and park once at the jobsite.

Dowel Bar Retrofit Process Celebrates 30 Years
International Grooving & Grinding Association
Dowel bar retrofit repairs have been proven to last between 15 and 20 years, according to state monitored projects
The proper DBR approach is to saw cut and jackhammer out the slots for the dowels; following dowel placement, the slots are then typically backfilled with a non-shrink concrete grout and the pavement is diamond-ground to restore smoothness.
