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.
