A strong bond

A key factor in the rehabilitation of asphalt and concrete pavements is bond

strength. This is determined by the interlock, adhesion and friction between
the asphalt layers. High-quality asphalt reinforcements are specifically
designed to enhance this effect by means of appropriate mesh sizes and

Salgado Filho Airport, Brazil:

Taxiway rehabilitation with HaTelit C

In 2001, a 40-year-old taxiway providing access to an aircraft

maintenance hangar required resurfacing. The pavement comprised
6.0 x 3.5 m concrete slabs, 30 cm thick. As it was not possible to close off
the access route for an extended period, all rehabilitation works had to
be completed within a single night. Therefore, to save time, only the more
heavily loaded inner part of the pavement was reinforced with HaTelit C
and overlaid with a 5 cm asphalt course. The outer areas of the taxiway
were left unreinforced. Seven years later, in October 2008, the difference
between the reinforced and unreinforced pavement sections was clearly
visible. The expansion joints in the unreinforced areas had not only
propagated to the surface, but were riddled with vegetation. The parts
reinforced with HaTelit, on the other hand, showed no signs of cracking.
