• Abstract:
  In July & August, 2010, MaineDOT conducted experimental applications of NovaChip on 16 miles of highway ; in western Maine. Novachip is a proprietary pavement process that applies an ultrathin, gap-graded, hot mix ; wearing course over a polymer rich asphalt emulsion in one pass using a self-priming paver. The process ; quickly secures the NovaChip to the existing surface and allows for minimal traffic delays. The polymer rich ; asphalt emulsion migrates into existing cracks to seal and fill them. The asphalt emulsion bonds the NovaChip ; material to existing pavement. The placement operation moves along quickly using a specialized paver that ; places material directly behind the spray bar. A 10 ton steel roller follows the placement to seat the stone ; immediately after the placement.
