2. MAINTENANCE OF AIRPORT PAVEMENTS

3. DE-ICING, SYSTEM TO COMBAT THE ICE ON THE SLOPES OF AIRPORTS,
ESSENTIAL, BUT BY THE TIME THE USE OF PRODUCTS FROST
DEGRADES PART OF THE TRACK “SURFACE”

4. THE SURFACE LAYER OF ROADS AND AIRPORT MANTLE OF THE SUPERSTRUCTURE
ARE SUBJECT TO SPOILAGE FOR SEVERAL FACTORS:
• DILUENTS’ACTION OF FUEL
• STRESSES TRAFFIC
• ENVIRONMENTAL
THIS DETERIORATION OCCURS AT DIFFERENT LEVELS AND WITH DIFFERENT
RHYTHMS. THE RECOGNITION OF DEFECTS AND THEIR CAUSES HELPS TO ASSESS
THE CONDITIONS OF PAVEMENT AND TO SELECT THE RIGHT REPAIR CONSIDERING
COSTS AND EFFECTS.
THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF DEFECTS:
- DEFECTS OF THE SURFACE
- DEFORMATION OF THE SURFACE: REPRESENTED BY THE PRESENCE OF FURROWS,
DISTORTIONS (BUMPS OR RIPPLES)
- CRACKS AND INJURIES
- PATCHING AND HOLES

5. FREEZE / THAW
SIMPLIFIED DESCRIPTION OF THE PHENOMENON OF DETERIORATION FROM
FREEZE / THAW
1. - FORMATION OF ICE
2. - THE ICE TURNS TO WATER FILLING THE PORE
3. - THE TEMPERATURE DROPS AND THE WATER IN
THE PORE VOLUME INCREASES ITS DESTRUCTIVE
SPARKING TENSIONS WITHIN THE "SURFACE" AND
"BASE"
4. - CREATE TENSIONS EXPANSIVE DETERIORATION OF
THE "SURFACE" AND "BASE"

6. ON THE BASIS OF OUR EXPERIENCE, THE USE OF A SERIES OF PROTECTIVE COATING
SURFACE CAN BE AN EFFECTIVE RESPONSE TO THIS ISSUE BECAUSE, AS WELL AS TO
POSTPONE THE AGEING OF MATERIALS BITUMINOUS LAYER, IS ABLE TO IMPROVE ITS
GENERAL BEHAVIOUR, DISTRIBUTING THE STRESSES THAT ARE TRANSMITTED. THIS
TECHNIQUE- UNDERTAKEN ON AN EXISTING CONGLOMERATE BITUMINOUS COATING
CONTINUOUSLY AND REACHED WITHOUT USING JOINTS- IS DEVELOPED AS FOLLOW:
• CLEANING THE SURFACE, REMOVING REMAINS OF OILS, RUBBER AND SCALING, TO
ENSURE GOOD ADHESION BETWEEN THE OLD PAVEMENT AND THE SUBSEQUENT
COATING;
. SEALING OF JOINTS AND CRACKS GREATER THAN 25 MM WITH A BITUMINOUS
MORTAR COMPOSED OF BITUMEN MIXED WITH SAND AND / OR FILLER;
. APPLICATION OF A FIRST LAYER, WHICH FUNCTIONS AS A IMPREGNATION PRIMER, OF
SYNTHETIC RESIN SUCH AS "EPOXY-TAR", FREE OF CHARGES, SOLVENTS AND
PLASTICIZERS BUT WITH A HIGH CONTENT OF "SILANES” AND
"MONOALKOXYTITANATES” WITH SPECIAL EQUIPMENT FOR ABOUT 55 G/SQM. THE
SYNTHETIC EPOXY-TAR RESIN IS ECOLOGICAL TAR-BASED AND EPOXY RESIN WITH
AMINE HARDENING, ABLE TO FILL ANY SMALL CRACKS ON THE SURFACE OF
BITUMINOUS CONGLOMERATE WITH SEALANT FUNCTIONS;
• APPLYING A SECOND LAYER OF EPOXY-TAR RESIN AT A RATE OF 1000 G/SQM AND
SUBSEQUENT DREDGING WITH HIGH HARDNESS INERT QUARTZ BASED. THE
FORMULATION OF EPOXY RESINS WITH ECOLOGICAL TAR EXPLOITS THE PROPERTIES
OF BOTH MATERIALS SUCH AS RESISTANCE TO CHEMICALS AND THERMAL
FLUCTUATIONS AND FLEXIBILITY OF TAR.

7. RIGHT ANGLE CRACKING FORMS BLOCKS
SMALL BLOCKS WITH OPEN CRACKS ALLIGATOR CRACKING AND POTHOLE
CRACKS SEALED. NO DISTORTION. SLIGHT RAVELING
ASPHALT AIRFIELD PAVEMENTS

8. THE SPECIAL FORMULATION OF EPOXY-TAR RESIN WAS DESIGNED TO OBTAIN:
-ADAPTABILITY TO ANY KIND OF SUPPORT FLEXIBLE BITUMINOUS CONGLOMERATE
THAT IS OLD OR NEW;
- HIGH ADHESION TO SUPPORT;
- FAST OUTFLOW OF WATER .
THE TREATMENT OF FLOORING BITUMINOUS CONGLOMERATE, AS INDICATED ABOVE,
TO OBTAIN SURFACES MORE RESISTANT TO WEATHER, WEAR AND PRESSURE,
INCREASINGLY REDUCE THE COSTS OF MAINTENANCE. WE ALSO HAVE THE ADVANTAGE
THAT THE PAVEMENT SO PROTECTED, IN ADDITION TO BEING DURABLE, ALLOWS A
DRIVING MORE COMFORTABLE, SAFE, WITH THE REDUCTION OF DAMAGE TO VEHICLES.
ALTHOUGH THE USE OF RESINOUS PRODUCTS MAY APPEAR MORE EXPENSIVE, IN THE
ECONOMIC ANALYSIS MUST CONSIDER THE IMPACT THAT THE COSTS OF ROUTINE
MAINTENANCE AND CONTINUOUS INCREASE IN PRICES OF OIL DERIVATIVES USED
TRADITIONALLY.
