01
Supply
Volumes, prospective producer, component availability, quality control and delivery schedule.
Construction companies
Plan the placement.
Coordinate the sequence.
BLC can be assessed as part of an insulated pavement solution. Successful delivery depends on coordination between the producer, contractor, designer and infrastructure owner.
What to organise before placement.
02
Access and placement
Equipment access, pumping setup, substrate preparation, sequencing and material protection.
03
Curing and subsequent work
Temperature, protection, achieved strength and authorisation for traffic or subsequent layers.
Early strength informs planning; it does not set an automatic schedule.
2.0 MPa
measured at 24 hours on the tested mixture
The ability to proceed quickly must be evaluated against the delivered mixture, curing conditions, weather and equipment loads.
A 24-hour strength measurement alone does not authorise equipment traffic or asphalt placement. Acceptance criteria are established in the specifications.
Compare construction item by item.
- Excavation, spoil disposal and replacement materials.
- BLC production, delivery, pumping and placement.
- Granular materials, asphalt, drainage, interfaces and traffic management.
- Mobilisation, quality control, contingencies and schedule.
The placement method, including any vibration required for the consistency, must be specified. Substrate preparation and compaction of other layers remain necessary.
A project to estimate?
BLC can support material review and transfer to the producer. Pricing and delivery capacity will be confirmed for the project.
