Street Overlay - Bautou, China

Street Overlay

Bautou, China - July 2005

Project Description:

FORTA AR® was used to reinforce the surface course of this street overlay project that was over 2200m long. The project, located in Bautou, a city in the inner Mongolia province of China, used a fiber equivalent to 1.0 lb./ ton of asphalt. The FORTA AR reinforced cross-section was 60mm thick, and the street was 17m wide. The 3/4" (19mm.) fiber length offered easy mixing and excellent 3-dimensional distribution
