In Austria and South-east Europe the road renovation system „System TERRA-MIX" is a very successful way of renovating ruined streets very fast, economically and with very high quality. In this system a new high-grade carrier layer, which is frost resistant and free of crevices, is produced out of the ruined carrier layer, being interspersed with fine particles, and asphalt through the addition of a road recycling binder and water. For the road renovation system „System TERRA-MIX" a patent has been applied for with the European Patent Office - Nr.A926/2008

Steps of a road renovation

Advantages

• A road construction, which has been stabilized with a binder, can take up to 3 times higher loads than a conventional road construction.
• Such a construction can no longer, after years of traffic, be interspersed with fine particles, since the carrier layer has been fixed with a binder. Therefore there is also no longer any need for a fleece.
• This construction is more frost resistant than without a binder, since inside such a fixed body no collection of water can form.
• It’s load capacity will increase year by year. Whereas a conventional construction will deteriorate with time.
• Hence, after decades of surface wear, only the surface layer needs to be repaired. The underlying, stabilized carrier layer remains.
• The present asphalt can be cut and mixed in with the carrier layer as valuable building material and does not need to be disposed of at high costs.
