ʻOi aku ka ʻoi aku o ka elasticity a me ka maʻalahi ma mua o ka pave sima, a ʻoi aku ka ʻoluʻolu o ka hoʻokele ma mua o ke kahua sima. I kēia mau makahiki i hala iho nei, ua hoʻohana nui ʻia ke kahua asphalt. ʻO ka asphalt ka mea maʻamau ma luna o ke alanui. Hoʻohui ʻia ka asphalt a me kekahi mau pōhaku i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i loko o kahi keʻena hui ʻana i ka asphalt e hana i kahi hui asphalt wela, i waiho ʻia ma ka ʻili o ke alanui a ʻōwili ʻia. He ʻano maʻamau kēia o ka hoʻohana ʻana. Hiki ke hana ʻia ka asphalt i loko o ka asphalt emulsified a hoʻoheheʻe ʻia ma waena o nā papa o ka hui ʻana o ka asphalt wela e lilo i mea hoʻopaʻa a me ka wai. No laila he aha ka asphalt emulsified?
Hoʻokumu ʻia ka asphalt emulsified ma ka hoʻomehana ʻana i kahi hopena wai o ka asphalt a me ka emulsifier ma o nā mea hana asphalt emulsified. ʻO ka asphalt emulsified he wai ʻeleʻele ma lalo o nā kūlana maʻamau. He wai ia i ka mahana maʻamau a maʻalahi ke mālama. He maʻalahi ke ʻano hana a ʻaʻohe wela a i ʻole pollution i ka wā o ke kūkulu ʻana. ʻO ka asphalt emulsified, ʻike ʻia hoʻi he asphalt wai, he ʻano ʻano asphalt wai.
I ka ʻenekinia pavement asphalt, hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ka asphalt emulsified i nā pavements hou a me ka mālama ʻana i ke alanui. ʻO ka papahele hou i kūkulu ʻia he papa permeable, papa adhesive a me slurry seal layer. Ma ke ʻano o ka mālama ʻana i ke alanui, no ka laʻana: fog seal, slurry seal, modified slurry seal, micro surfacing, fine surfacing, etc.
E pili ana i ka asphalt emulsified, nui nā ʻatikala pili i nā puke i hala, hiki iā ʻoe ke kuhikuhi iā lākou. Inā pono ʻoe e kauoha, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻokaʻaʻike i ka lawelawe mea kūʻai aku o ka pūnaewele! Mahalo iā ʻoe no kou nānā a kākoʻo iā Tantulu Road a me Bridge!
