A- BITUMINOUS HOT MIXTURES:
High performance of asphalt concrete is possible with good design of the mixture, usage of qualitative raw material and making high standard controlled production and application.
Design of products made of bituminous hot mixture is our own envisagement, asphalt aggregates used as raw material for asphalt concrete production are achieved through Simge-Challenger equipped with special technology.
By means of this, asphalt production with qualified aggregate is implemented. For production of asphalt, controlled production of high standard is implemented by E-MAK branded fully-automatic batch type asphalt plant equipped with high technology.
Bituminous pavement courses are in the state of exposed to traffic load and destructive effect of Nature owing to being on the top surface of road. For this reason, our BSK (Bituminous Hot Mixture) products are designed as for long term high performance and produced in high quality.
It is used on roads, airports or other places opened to traffic with adequate (proper) basses or other bituminous pavements on concrete pavements as hot and single course or multiple courses in accordance with plan, profile, and center-section mentioned on its project.
It is durable to carry the loads over it, (having adequate stability). It absorbs expansion arisen from temperature differences. It makes wheel easy rolling. Seal is provided. It provides to controlled flow the water over its surface. It provides adequate smoothness for brake safety. It carries traffic loads and preserves superstructures against deformations. A road surface is achieved with high skid resistance and at the same time giving possibility to drive cozily. It prevents water over road surface to penetrate to the base, sub-base and bottom ground. It is also used in maintenance and repair of deformed and old pavements.
