The use of recycled material in new product is on the rise, both for cost and environmental reasons. It’s a natural fit for the asphalt production industry where there is such a constant demand for ...

Given roads are everywhere and involve some carbon-intensive processes to build, scientists are investigating how alternative materials could make the whole process more sustainable. We've seen how ...

Gazpromneft-Bitumen Materials has completed the installation of the main equipment of the complex for the production of high-tech binder components in the city of Salsk (Rostov region). The new ...

Scientists have improved the ability of asphalt-derived porous carbon to capture carbon dioxide from natural gas. A Rice University laboratory has improved its method to turn plain asphalt into a ...

Raw natural gas contains carbon dioxide and other gases that must be removed before the fuel can be transported through a pipeline. A new porous material, derived from asphalt, could help perform that ...

For failed pavements, full-depth reclamation (FDR) reclaims and treats an entire road structure – including underlying materials – to produce a stabilized base course ready for overlay. With FDR, an ...

The Southern African Bitumen Association (Sabita) produces technical guidelines with regard to the use and application of bituminous material that are regularly updated with the most appropriate ...

It can be termed as the building block of the pavements without which all the pavement materials would behave independently and thus will be deemed useless. Almost ninety percent of bitumen is used in ...

Rubber tracked asphalt pavers distribute, shape, and compacts “asphaltic concrete”—a material that includes various formulations that combine graded aggregate, liquid asphalt, and sometimes additives ...

In late 2014, then-state Sen. Martin Sandoval was angry with transportation officials. One of his biggest campaign contributors, asphalt magnate Michael Vondra, had cornered the market on recycled ...
