The Road Badger
has a huge advantage over conventional methods for rehabilitating oiled
roads. Since the Road Badger does not fracture or damage existing road
surface materials, any new materials that would conventionally be required
are minimized. Additionally, the Road Badger is able to break up AND mix the
road surface in a single pass - greatly reducing completion time and traffic
disruptions. Most uses of the Road Badger on Oiled roads to date have not
only reduced the amount of additional material, they have eliminated it.
This does not only generate
economical benefits, but presents many environmental ones as well.
Below is a
testimonial to the Road Badger's effectiveness on Oiled Roads:
A Sub-Division road was scheduled to be
scarified and windrowed prior to 80 cubic yards of aggregate and 7,200litres
of oil being added in order to restore the road to a smooth driving surface.
Instead, the Road Badger scarified the road surface at a pre-determined
depth of 3inches, reclaiming and re-mixing the existing material without
disturbing the sub grade. The Road Badger was able to recover sufficient
material to re-grade the road and the County decided that the additional
aggregate and oil were no longer required. Instead, the County added a
stabilizer and utilized the Road Badger to mix the product into the road
surface material. The Road Badger uniformly mixed the material and product
together in-place and the road was completed by profiling and then
compaction.
