Superior Subdivision Paving
Superior Asphalt took the the streets of Bradenton, Florida, to pave a private subdivision using PG58-22 with Evotherm supplied by Associated Asphalt. Superior chose Evotherm to improve the workability and compaction ease of their 30% RAP mix.
Asphalt mix was produced by Superior Asphalt's 2-ton batch plant at 290 F, a decrease of 30 degrees from normal hot mix production. Trucks delivered mix to the jobsite at 280-285 F after a one hour haul. On site, the foreman noted that the Evotherm mix was easier to loot on hand work and that his roller opeator had more time to achieve a high quality mat finish.
