Concrete Preparation Using Mini-Excavator for Polyester Polymer Concrete Overlay

摘要

Incorporating the mini-excavator into the concrete surface preparation toolkit dramatically increased efficiency. The ability to peel up the existing asphalt overlay into easily manageable sections doubled the speed of surface preparation. The increased speed allowed the contractor to open up more of the bridge approach slabs, prepare, and place the polyester polymer concrete without interrupting daytime traffic, resulting in completion of the project on time in September 2018.
