FiberMat is registered trademark of Colas
After 87 years of building roads, Sully-Miller Contracting Company recently launched a new Pavement Preservation Division to maintain the roads they build. In difficult economic times, local and state agencies are looking for alternative solutions to maintain their roads on a limited budget. Utilizing Sully-Miller Contracting Company's knowledge, experience, quality, and expertise, FiberMat® will offer these agencies an alternative solution compared to conventional methods.
FiberMat® is a specially formulated, polymer modified, crack resistant membrane that produces superior strength and flexibility. It forms a high tensile matrix upon application with a highly modified asphalt emulsion residue that is reinforced with engineered fiberglass strands. The FiberMat® system is installed by a specially developed machine that uniformly applies the fiberglass strands in a continuous application. The strands are sandwiched between two layers of modified emulsion prior to application of an aggregate cover. The final product is then rolled to seat the aggregate into the surface. This combination of highly modified asphalt residue and a fiberglass reinforcement matrix creates a powerful resistant membrane interlayer that absorbs stresses in the pavement structure and delays the onset of cracking. Unlike conventional geotextile reinforced interlayers, FiberMat® is easily recycled without any issues, is easily constructed, and saves time and labor on application for the user without the usual wrinkles, rips and tears associated with fabrics.
The LIVE FiberMat® Demonstration will be performed by Sully-Miller Contracting Company's Pavement Preservation Division at their United Rock Products facility located in Irwindale, CA on Monday, April 12th at 2pm.
G.W. Sully and Earl B. Miller founded Sully-Miller Contracting Company in 1923. Over the past eight decades, Sully-Miller has grown to become one of the largest road builders in Southern California.
