摘要 |
A system for working a paved surface is disclosed in one aspect of the invention as including a water deposition device for increasing the moisture content of a paved surface; a microwave generator for applying microwaves to the moisture content to heat and thereby soften the paved surface; and a degradation element for working the paved surface. In certain embodiments, the apparatus may also include a surface preparation device to fracture, puncture, mar, scrape, or scarify the paved surface prior to increasing the moisture content, and a containment device to substantially restrict the escape of water as it is deposited onto the paved surface.
