Wearing course
For the surface layer two different materials are used:
- Chip & Spray layer
- Asphalt surface layer
In combination with a RoadCem-cement base a Chip&Spray layer is sufficient for the most road
types. A RoadCem-cement base will be the structure of the construction and the Chip&Spray
acts like a friction course without any structural value.
A disadvantage is the limited “body” of this Chip&Spray layer. With a lot of maneuvering of
traffic or instantaneous breaking at high speed, the Chip&Spray layer may detach. Therefore,
for road types 1 & 2 a construction with an asphalt wearing course is desirable.
