• The traditional resource pool for road construction will be inadequate!
• How can the use of HBM and concrete pavements help to meet this challenge and deepen the resource pool?
19
HBM – hydraulically bound mixtures
• HBM subbases & lower bases• Lower grade aggregates
• Indigenous binders• Mobile mixing plants
• High compaction pavers• Reduce asphalt demand by 50%
20
Concrete pavements
• Wide choice of suitable aggregates
• Including recycled concrete
• Indigenous cement binder
• Mobile concrete mixing plants
• Slipform paving equipment
• Thin surface course asphalt
• 90% reduction in asphalt demand
21
What about personnel resources?
• Plant & skilled personnel in Airfields
• Pavers & skilled personnel in slipformedbarrier & channels
• Transferable skills from asphalt to HBM
22
Material Supply• Aggregates
