Marshall
Mixes
- Materials conform to GS1992(1) requirement
All Marshall mixes stipulated in the specification, including 10 and 20 mm wearing
course material, 10 mm friction course material, 28 and 37.5 mm base course material.
- 20 mm SMA
(Stone Mastic Asphalt)(2)
An impermeable wearing course material. Resistant to mechanical and temperature
deformation, cracking, and particularly rutting. Also resists weathering actions such as
ageing and low-temperature cracking. The textured surface increases the skid-resistant
properties. Durability is excellent even under slow moving heavy traffic.
- 10 mm polymer modified friction course material
Noise reducing and more durable to deformation than normal
design friction course material. Skid-resistant and improved
safety during rain due to the open-textured design and water
permeation properties.
- 10 mm wearing course material
A refined surface due to smaller nominal size aggregate than 20 mm wearing course.
Also used as a regulating course material because of the small nominal size of aggregate.
Special
Mixes
- Mastic asphalt
A wearing course material often using on suspension bridges. Able to reduce weight on
the bridge deck because of its relatively thin application. Highly durable to adverse
weather conditions. Resistant to cracking and deformation due to large temperature
variation, movement and vibration of the underlying structure due to traffic or wind. An
impermeable and voidless pavement which also serves a water-proofing function.
- 37.5 mm coarse asphaltic TLA material
A rut- and crack-resistant material incorporating Trinidad Lake Asphalt. Designed by
Anderson Asphalt for extremely high volume traffic conditions.
- 20 mm wearing course TLA material
A rut- and crack-resistant wearing course material incorporating Trinidad Lake Asphalt.
Designed by AAL for extremely high volume traffic conditions.
- Rubber asphalt To the client’s specific requirement. Shock-absorbing to provide
comfortable riding.
Recipe
Mixes
- Materials conform to BS4987(3) or GS1992(1) requirements
Materials such as the 37.5 mm road base material, 20 mm DBM and 10 mm DBM.
- 6 mm fine asphalt
Conforms to BS4987, used as the uppermost surface material when refined surface
regularity is required.
Other
products
- Bituminous primer
Provides good contact between the lower structure and upper bituminous layers.
Sometimes serves as a water impervious layer to protect the upper bituminous structure
from water action.
- Emulsified bituminous tack coat
Provides good contact between adjacent bituminous layers.
-
Cut-back bitumen On client’s specific request.
- Granular sub-base material
An unbound structural layer which distributes loads, and provides a surface of uniform
strength for the construction of the upper road base and surfacing layers. Conforms to
GS1992(1).
