Project History
Reinforcing the Future of Asphalt Worldwide
City of Delaware, OH ‘Deep Patch Repair’
Central Ave, Delaware, OH - January 2012
Project Description:
The City of Delaware, OH practices sustainability and environmental stewardship. Their Public Works Department recycles used asphalt product by reheating it and using the reclaimed material for patching and pothole repairs. FORTA-FI PAT blend was added to this recycled material mix to provide additional fiber-reinforced strength and durability to a deep patch street rehabilitation project. The fiber was added to the asphalt (1 lb. per 1 ton) after it had been reheated, then briefly blended in the small recycling unit drum, and transferred into a hot-box for transportation to the repair site. Delaware Street & Traffic personnel used the 100% recycled asphalt material with FORTA-FI reinforcement to expertly complete the repair!Project Participants
