UHPC Phalt a semi-flexible pavement system

UHPC Phalt is a grouted macadam comprising an open graded asphalt that is flooded with high strength microsilica based mortars. The open graded asphalt is mixed to a design mix at a local asphalt plant and delivered to site in tipper trucks. It is placed via traditional paving techniques.
The UHPC Phalt mortars are delivered in 1 tonne bags and mixed via a continuous flow shaftmixer and pump machine. The mortar is mixed for a certain amount of time to achieve correct viscosity then
flooded via a large hose onto the asphalt matrix.

UHPC Phalt can be laid at depths of 30 mm / 1,18 in upwards (typically maximum depth used is 40 mm /1,57 in). UHPC Phalt is the top layer of the pavement that is supported by a basecourse layer. The basecourse layer can vary dependent on environment and loadings, internal or external applications. Preferred basecourse materials to support the UHPC Phalt topping are high modulus macadam basecourse. CBM bases are ideal for use for large internal areas.

Asphalt disadvantages insufficient stability and deformation resistance


- Static point loads
- Trailer supports
- Forklift traffic
- Tracked vehicles
- High-bay warehouse / heavy-duty warehouse
- Ruts, wave formation (bus stops, intersections,    
Open graded Asphalt
  roundabouts)
- Low wear resistance when using forklift forks,
  loading shovels, roll containers

Advantages of UHPC Phalt

- Very high load carrying capacity
- Frost and dew resistant
- Jointless laying
- Quick installation
- High early strength
- Temperature resistant from - 60°C/-76°F

   to  +90°C/194°F 
- High wear resistance
- Resistance to aggressive media
- Long service life 
- Good to very good recyclability
- Much faster to lay than standard floor concrete
- Very short curing time
- Substantially cheaper than standard floor concrete

Where is UHPC Phalt used?

- Airports
- Ports
- Lorry marshalling areas
- Service yards
- Acces roads
- Bus stations / depots
- Waste management facilities
- Roads
- Car parks
- Distribution center
- Indoors for warehouse floors
- Anywhere that concrete is conventionally used
