Everyone must be familiar with slurry sealing and micro-surfacing. But do you know their 7 construction steps?
Slurry sealing and micro-surfacing were both early preventative highway protection technologies. Its function is to ensure the smooth use and extended life of the highway. The construction steps are as follows:
1. Cleaning: Thoroughly remove dirt, debris, etc. from the original road surface;
2. Line marking: Marking conductors may or may not be used if there are curbs, lane lines, etc. as reference objects;
3. Health care: This requires spraying the sticky layer oil. Start the spray truck to spray the sticky layer oil and perform health care;
4. Paving: Start the paver truck and spread the micro-surface or slurry seal mixture;
5. Repair: Manually repair local construction defects;
6. Health maintenance: initial health maintenance;
7. Open to traffic.
Warm reminder: The single paving width should be reasonably determined based on the entire construction width required by the design, taking into account factors such as reducing the number of longitudinal joints and placing the longitudinal joints near the lane lines.
Micro-surfacing and slurry sealing layers do not need to be rolled after paving. It is used in situations such as hard shoulders and parking lots where there is a lack of rolling equipment, or to meet special needs, a 6t to 10t tire roller can be used for rolling. The timing of rolling should be chosen after the micro-surface and slurry sealing mixture have been demulsified and initially formed.
Are slurry seals and micro-surfacing very simple to construct? But the simpler things are, the more careful you have to do them. And have you done it?

    Bitumen decanter equipment can be placed in a complex system as an independent unit, replacing the existing heat source de-barreling method, or in parallel as a core component of a large set of equipment, or it can work independently to meet the requirements of small-scale construction operations.
    The Sinoroader bitumen decanter device is mainly composed of a de-barreling box, a lifting mechanism, a hydraulic thruster and an electrical control system. The box is divided into two chambers, the upper chamber is a barreled bitumen melting chamber, and heating coils are evenly distributed around it. The heating pipe and the bitumen barrel mainly exchange heat in a radiation manner to achieve the purpose of bitumen de-barreling. Several guide rails are the tracks for the bitumen barrel to enter. The lower chamber is mainly to continue heating the bitumen removed from the barrel to make the temperature reach the suction pump temperature (100℃), and then the asphalt pump is pumped into the upper chamber. At the same time, an empty barrel is pushed out at the rear end outlet. There is also an oil tank on the platform at the entrance of the asphalt barrel to prevent the dripping bitumen from flowing out.
    The inlet and outlet doors of the device adopt a spring automatic closing mechanism. The door can be automatically closed after the asphalt barrel is pushed in or out to reduce heat loss. A temperature gauge is installed at the asphalt outlet to observe the asphalt outlet temperature. The electrical control system can control the opening and closing of the hydraulic pump and the reversing of the electromagnetic reversing valve to realize the advance and retreat of the hydraulic cylinder. If the heating time is extended, a higher temperature can be obtained. The lifting mechanism adopts a cantilever structure. The bitumen barrel is lifted by an electric hoist, and then moved horizontally to place the bitumen barrel on the guide rail. A temperature gauge is installed at the outlet of the asphalt meltering equipment to observe its outlet temperature.

    Emulsified modified asphalt equipment is classified according to the production process and can be divided into three types: intermittent emulsified modified asphalt equipment, semi-continuous emulsified modified asphalt equipment, and continuous emulsified modified asphalt equipment. During the production of emulsified modified asphalt equipment, demulsifier, acid, water, and latex modified materials are blended in a soap mixing tank, and then pumped into the asphalt into the colloid mill. After a can of soap is used up, the soap is redispensed, and then the production of the next can is completed.
    The emulsified modified asphalt equipment mentioned here includes hot water pumps and circulation pumps. This type of centrifugal water pump generally uses a pipeline centrifugal pump. There is a sewage outlet at the bottom of the pipeline centrifugal pump. Pay attention to the sewage outlet at the bottom of the emulsified modified asphalt equipment pump. The water in the water tank is released through the filter valve. Some emulsified modified asphalt equipment does not have a filter valve to save equipment costs, so it can only be emptied by loosening the flange bolts at the bottom. There are basically two methods of moisturizing emulsion pumps for emulsified modified asphalt equipment on the market, gear oil pumps or centrifugal water pumps. The gear oil pump can only drain the liquid in the pump through the connecting flange of the pipeline. The centrifugal water pump carries out sewage treatment through its own sewage outlet.
    When used in the production of emulsified modified asphalt equipment, depending on the modified material technology, the latex pipeline can be connected in front of the colloid mill or behind the colloid mill, or there may be no latex pipeline and it must be made manually. Add the required amount of latex into the soap jar.

    Asphalt spreader is an irreplaceable tool for highway maintenance. Asphalt spreader is an irreplaceable tool for highway maintenance. Highway maintenance is divided into four categories according to the nature of the project, scale, and technical complexity: minor repair, medium repair, major repair, and improvement. Specific classification:
    (1) Minor repair and maintenance project: preventive maintenance and repair of slightly damaged parts of the highway and all its engineering facilities to keep them in good condition. It is usually planned and carried out daily by the maintenance team within the annual minor repair and maintenance quota funds on a monthly (ten-day) basis.
    (2) Medium repair project: regular repair and reinforcement of general wear and tear and local damage of highway engineering facilities to restore them to their original state. It is usually planned and implemented by grassroots road maintenance agencies on an annual (seasonal) basis.
    (3) Major repair project: periodic comprehensive repair of major damage to highway facilities to fully restore them to the original design standards, or local improvements and individual additions within the original technical level to gradually improve the highway’s traffic capacity. It is usually organized and implemented by grassroots road maintenance agencies or with the help of their superior agencies according to the approved annual project budget.
    (4) Improvement projects are large projects that improve the technical level of roads and their engineering facilities in stages and sections due to their inability to meet traffic volume and load requirements, or significantly improve traffic capacity through improvements. It is usually organized and implemented or completed through bidding by regional road maintenance agencies or provincial road maintenance agencies according to the approved plan and design budget.
