Innovative road paving with the “Compactasphalt®” two-layer process The key is proper compaction To be able to pave two layers in immediate succession, the Compactasphalt® paver possesses a high-compaction unit that brings the binder layer to approximately 92% Marshall.

The final step is concentrated compaction of the two layers to complete

the bonding by immediately passing a roller over the hot layers. The surface thus reaches optimal compaction and bonds the mats to the ideal level.

Impressive savings on materials Material savings In comparison to conventional paving methods, the thickness of the top layer is reduced by half. By doing so, the procedure excels at conserving resources while achieving extraordinary quality. Because it is so durable, the respective asphalt section seldomly needs to be repaired or replaced.

Faster paving!

With the Compactasphalt® method, two paving procedures are completed in one step. A second, separate paving procedure is entirely omitted! The cooling period between worksteps that is needed with conventional processes is also eliminated.

Longer paving season Thanks to the immediately successive paving of the binder and top layers, a hot “package” is formed out of both asphalt layers. For this reason, qualitative highgrade paving is possible, even during significantly worse weather conditions and lower temperatures.

The lifespan of the top layer can be doubled to approximately 24 years!

Study results at Erfurt University, Prof. Dr. Elk Richter The development of Compactasphalt® can be primarily attributed to the research of Prof. Dr.- Ing. Elk Richter. Drawing upon many years‘ of experience, he developed a completely new paving technology with a modified layer composition.

Compactasphalt® technology stands out for its fundamentally better deformation resistance and shortened paving times.

In a variety of tests and studies, the outstanding properties of Compactasphalt® and its potential to improve the building of roads were confirmed. Professor Richter estimates that the lifespan of the top layer is double that of top layers produced with conventional methods.

Study results TU Darmstadt, Dr.-Ing. Böhm, Director of the official testing center Compactasphalt® was used on the BAB A7 Kassel Hattenbach, along a 2.5 mile-long slope, in December 1998. Due to the high volume of traffic, the segment is to be assigned to construction category SV. According to Dr.-Ing. Böhm, “By using the Compactasphalt® paving method at the Reckeröder Hill, a type of asphalt pavement was produced that, despite bad paving conditions, has absorbed a high traffic load for more than 10 years without any significant deformities.” Sections located before and after the monitored section, subjected to the same approximate loads and built using the conventional method, showed greater deformities during the same observasubjected to high traffic volume, often stop-and-go, but also to

and had a large longitudinal slope. Through testing, it was possible to show at Reckeröder hill that deformity-resistant asphalt pavements can be produced when using the Compactasphalt® construction method.

Compactasphalt® is in accordance with the newest german legislative guidelines for road construction.

The top and the binder layer are laid succesively in one single operation. The driving on the hot binder layer with a second paver is forbidden.

A perfect environmental For a cleaner future Dynapac stands for partnerships and sustainability. We continuously develop new technologies in order to minimize fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

The Compactasphalt® method stands out for its enormous material savings. Expensive top layer material is reduced by 50 percent, eliminating the use of bitumen emulsions.

The entire paving process saves time and resources.

We will be happy to provide you with detailed information on the far-reaching advantages of Compactasphalt®: to the environment, road paving, and your wallet.
