🌡️❄️ Turangi, in Central Waikato, New Zealand, is known for its extreme weather, with scorching days and freezing nights.
❗ This makes road maintenance a challenge, with the sealing season restricted to December through February.
Traditional sealing methods often fail in cold, moist conditions, leading to weakened bonds and chip loss. Emulsions help, but curing is slow in cold weather. 🤔
🚧 In some parts of Waikato, the chip has difficulty adhering to bitumen, when traffic hits these seals, chip loss and stripping will happen.
📖 Read how the team in April 2023, reduced the stripping risk from an estimated 80% to less than 10% in the fourth short story in our series.
