CHIPMIX

    What is CHIPMIX?

    CHIPMIX is a cold treated pavement material from locally available aggregates and/or reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) produced using a mobile cold mixing plant. CHIPMIX is essentially a stiffer material compared to normal granular material. It gives a much better structural characteristics in terms of fatigue and deformation resistance.

    The Application

    Heavy Trafficked Roads

    Provides solutions for both major highways and rural roads which are exposed to high loads.

    Rectify Extensive Damages

    Rectifies extensive damages extending all the way into the pavement subgrade.

    Hard-To-Reach Sites

    Gets to where conditions do not allow the operation of an “in-situ” cold recycling train.

    “…transported to the job site and then placed and compacted by road pavers and compactors…”

    The Operation

    The mixing plant KMA150, enables cold treated pavement material (CHIPmix) to be produced from locally available aggregate and/or reclaimed asphalt pavement in a nearby mixing plant, transported to the job site and then placed and compacted by road pavers and compactors.

    1. Loading into Cold Bin

    2. Production of Chip Mix

    3. Laying of Chip Mix

    4. Compaction

    The Advantages

    Cost Effective where overlay on top of pavement is thinner due to increase in stiffness and structural capacity.
    Versatile where cold treated material can be stockpiled up to one month; suitable for the construction of both major highways, as well as rural roads; highly mobile; and construction causes less traffic disruption.
    Ecologically Friendly where existing materials can be reused; and causes less air, noise, exhaust, and dust emissions.
