The challenge
“The biggest challenge for this project was to choose a reinforcement solution that adheres perfectly to the milled surface of the road, but which can still be easily removed and recycled when the time finally comes that the road needs to be completely renewed. In this case, in about ten years.”
The solution
"The interlayer performs best when laying perfectly smooth. While synthetic meshes can shift, Fortifix® rolls out evenly onto the road surface and adheres perfectly to the elastomer emulsion. The magnetic properties of the steel enables separation from the asphalt, making the materials 100% recyclable.”
“What gave us the reassurance to try out Fortifix® is the fact the product had already been added to standard specification documents. Fortifix® has been thoroughly investigated during the R&D phase and also the OCW (the Research Center for Road Construction) had given its approval.”
