Asphalt preservatives dramatically extend the lifespan of highways

ongoing

The highways industry is faced with a unique challenge – The ‘Road’, with its depreciating finite life, cannot economically be renewed in line with traditional life cycle activities. Asphalt preservatives shield the wearing surface from environmental impacts. RHiNOPHALT® from ASI Solutions is a low cost, cold applied, chemically engineered preservative applied to the top surface of a ‘Road’, forming a membrane on, and uniquely, within the bituminous surface. Ideally applied 1-2 years after surfacing has been laid and maintained as part of a 5-7 year cyclical regime of application and re-application with optimum results being delivered by targeting ‘Roads’ with an IRI Condition Index of ‘Very Good’ or ‘Good’ to radically slow deterioration of the surface. RHiNOPHALT treated roads will last longer, look better and keep maintenance to a minimum. Typically RHiNOPHALT will save at least one resurfacing over a 20-year period and one of ASI’s largest motorway concession customers is confident of achieving whole life savings of close to 40% and will minimize the amount of 'unplanned interventions' that would normally be expected to be carried out, which are estimated to be reduced by 66%.
