Application Highlights Goals of this $1.1 million project included extending pavement life 6-8 years and protecting already oxidized pavement from further oxidation and raveling. Micro surfacing materials were applied in two thin lifts to driv...
Treatment Plan This would be the first time FDR would be used to treat a fly ash road. Ergon’s engineered emulsion — FDR-EE — was the selected binder for this process. This emulsion would help facilitate a stable base able to resist moisture d...
Adjusting the Plan The group decided to make the project 9” (instead of the originally scheduled 10”) in order to stay out of the clay. The reasoning was there would be no diminishing or detrimental effects by reducing the FDR material by 1” a...
TREATMENT PLAN: TDOT Region 2 awarded the SR-111 micro surfacing job to Hudson Construction, a contractor Ergon has supplied on previous projects. Hudson typically paves with their in-house conventional micro surfacing product in this region....
