Autoroute

Most local authorities in the UK think of cold mix asphalt as a new and relatively untested road construction material. But it has been used successfully in the UK for more than 10 years, including a section of trunk road in Scotland built with a cold mix asphalt base course in 2008.

From this spring until October 2019, NCC will be laying no less than 300 000 tonnes of asphalt on a new section of motorway along the south-eastern coast of Norway.

Nypave PX 50 is a highly modified 40/60 pen binder produced from selected bitumen feedstock. It is rheologically modified to deliver enhanced performance characteristics – including lower temperature compaction and rapid hardening of asphalt.

Major carriageway refurbishment has been carried out to the E20 near Gotheburg, western Sweden, during June and July 2016. Asphalting took place in parallel across three lanes to speed surfacing works and minimise disruption to traffic.

When one of Sweden’s most heavily trafficked roads needed resurfacing, the durability of polymer modified bitumen was required to meet the challenge.

The E6, which is under the Swedish Transport Administration’s area of responsibility, apart from a small section that the City of Malmo manages, carries up to 40,000 vehicle movements per day on certain parts of the route.

Nypave FX 25 PL est un liant spécialement conçu pour les enrobés à module élevé (de classe EME), produits conformes à la norme EN 12591 et aux spécifications de qualité Nynas.

Environmentally sustainable techniques and long lasting materials were required for a road reconstruction contract on the A9 at Carrbridge near Inverness. The two lane single carriageway originally featured a lean mix concrete base.

Une augmentation constante du volume de trafic, en termes à la fois de nombre de véhicules et de charge à l’essieu, fait subir au revêtement de la chaussée des contraintes de plus en plus grandes. La rénovation du revêtement du tronçon concerné a été la solution immédiate privilégiée. Il est estimé que ce tronçon présente de très forts risques d’aquaplaning par temps de pluie. Par conséquent, il était nécessaire de procéder à un remodelage du drainage en surface.

The section of Federal highway A5 between Frankfurt and Darmstadt is one of the most heavily trafficked highways in Germany carrying more than 125,000 vehicles per day. Part of the important north - south axis, it provides a link between Frankfurt airport and the southern parts of Germany and also Switzerland.

Large scale trials of flexible surfacing materials are under way in Sweden. The hope is that flexible bitumen can be a key component in repairing surfacing courses with significant crack formation.

Nynas 20/30 est un bitume routier et est conforme à la norme EN 12591.

The existing pavement for road RV3 in Norway was based on a rather soft 330/430 PEN standard bitumen. High vehicle use in cold climatic conditions meant that the road was suffering and its load carrying capacity had begun to fail.

Il était nécessaire de procéder au resurfaçage de l'autoroute E19 à Meer, à proximité immédiate de la frontière avec les Pays-Bas, en perturbant le moins possible la circulation internationale très dense. C'est pour cette raison que les travaux se sont déroulés de manière continue, y compris le week-end et pendant les vacances, pour occasioner le moins de nuisance possible.

The E47/E2 forms part of Denmarks 'Big H' motorway network. A seven kilometre section of the 'Sydmotorvejen' route's southbound carriageway had fallen into disrepair, becoming cracked and uneven. Major reconstruction of the concrete pavement was required.

The A1 is one of the most important motorways in Germany. It links Saarbrücken with the Ruhr area and its harbours at Bremen, Hamburg and Lübeck. The motorway is used by 68,000 vehicles a day and is a key route for heavy goods vehicles.

Poor surface conditions and high traffic loads on a section of the E18 between Langåker and Bommestad led to serious congestion. It became apparent that the bottleneck needed to be relieved with the construction of a new four lane, 8.1km long highway.

The A1 is Lithuania's main cross country route, linking Vilnius – the capital in the east – westwards to Kaunas and then Klaipeda by the Baltic sea. Maximum traffic density along the 300km long, dual four lane highway is 40,000 vehicles per day. It is towards Klaipeda that a 3.4km stretch of the motorway's eastbound carriageway was giving trouble.

The expressway is S10 between Szczecin (Poland’s largest Baltic seaport) and Motaniec, in the north west of the country; it carries 17,000 vehicles a day, 12% of these heavy goods vehicles.

Nypave FX 25 PL is special designed bitumen for very high modulus asphalt mixtures (EME) which complies with EN 12591 and Nynas specifications.

Nynas FX 15 is a paving grade bitumen suitable for the manufacture of high modulus asphalt formulated with recycled materials.

Nymuls SD 105 is a polymer modified surface dressing emulsion with good retentive properties that enables traffic to get moving sooner than with a conventional surface dressing.
