Implementation of the modified asphalt project on the BRT route in Tehran’s 8th district using AkaBit AD polymer modified bitumen
Haft Hous square BRT route (high-speed buses) is one of the busiest routes with high number of passengers. Considering the importance of the quality of asphalt in BRT (high-speed buses), the respected employer (Tehran Region 8 Municipality) announced the use of polymer modified bitumen for the BRT (high-speed buses) route project, which Paksarshan Company was able to successfully and by using the materials With quality and up-to-date technology, he was able to implement this project by using AkaBit AD.
BRT lines (high-speed buses) are always subject to damage due to high traffic and carrying heavy loads. Many of the problems that have arisen on the surface of these roads occur due to the penetration of moisture under the asphalt layers and the separation of bitumen and materials from each other. Therefore, the use of polymer asphalt in these roads can help their quality and efficiency and significantly increase the service life of the asphalt. The noteworthy point in this case is that this project was carried out in the hot summer months and until now the asphalt has not had any deformation or damage, which indicates its high quality and durability.
