The innovative MOBA system allows contractors to identify heat segregation issues in the paved surfaces

PAVING CONTROL specialist 1228 MOBA is offering a new system said to be able to boost surface quality and longevity.

Called the PAVE-IR, this unit can be used to identify segregation issues during paving processes, a problem that is a major cause of premature failure in asphalt roads. Numerous studies have identified the relationship between thermal segregation and density and the new PAVE-IR package from MOBA is said to offer contractors a non-destructive method for detecting thermal segregation in real time. The system uses infrared sensors to generate a thermal profile for the entire project and can deliver real-time quality control and quality assurance data to the operator on a full colour touch screen. The system also stores all the files for later analysis in the office and can be used to document an entire paving job, complete with GPS coordinates and a temperature scale.

Paving speed and paver stops are also recorded, allowing contractors to adjust their paving or haulage operations to maximise profits while delivering a high quality finish that is free of segregation.

    Early detection of pavement defects and the causes of deterioration is essential for effective maintenance planning, writes Dr Alena Uus* There is a need for optimisation and development of UK highway survey methods that would provide comprehensive information on the surface and subsurface pavement condition and operate at traffic speed, which eliminates the requirement for lane closures. Performance of non-destructive testing (NDT) methods commonly employed in pavement condition surveys can be potent

    With the asphalt paving segment split broadly into two methods, American or European,. it is no surprise that manufacturers. from these countries have dominated the market for some years. An interesting development in recent times has been seen with various European firms developing asphalt pavers to suit North American needs, including BOMAG, Dynapac and Vögele. Caterpillar and Volvo by comparison both offer both European and US-style pavers, with separate model ranges that have been developed over many ye
