surface treatment

Surface treatment is a method for road maintenance and renovation, right up to paving construction - it is our all-rounder! There is almost nothing it cannot do! Because of its diverse combination options, such as multiple layers, double OB or OB with chippings, OB can serve a wide variety of applications and can therefore be used for a wide variety of customer requirements. The principle is usually similar. A new, very thin layer is applied to the existing road surface, the surface is sprayed with a binding agent and then sprinkled with aggregate. In Germany, broken natural stone is used for sprinkling. Particularly when light-colored types of stone are used, OB also serves as a reflective layer and thus inhibits the aging of the underlying asphalt layers, as the temperature load can be reduced by up to 7 degrees.

Einfache OB

A simple surface treatment (OB) in road construction is a measure for repairing and maintaining roads. A new, very thin layer is applied to the surface of an existing road. This process is also suitable for the interim construction of roads. It is characterized by efficiency and cost-effectiveness and is often used on country, district and municipal connecting roads and farm roads.

    1. Pre-cleaning: The substrate is cleaned to ensure perfect contact between the binder and the substrate.

    2. Application of the binding agent: The binding agent is sprayed onto the substrate from a low height using ramp sprayers.

    3. Chipping: Fine chippings are applied to the surface.

    4. Rolling : The applied aggregate is rolled in to increase the adhesion between the individual grains and the binder.

    5. Sweeping: This is done after about 4-7 days using a sweeper
