METHOD OF UPGRADING GRAVEL AND/OR DIRT ROADS AND A COMPOSITEROAD RESULTING THEREFROM

摘要

A method of paving a gravel and/or dirt roadway (10) is provided. This metho d includes evaluating the roadway to determine if it is an appropriate candida te for emulsion stabilization, rotating a milling head (20) down a roadway to break up gravel and dirt base layer (14), injecting an asphalt emulsion into the broken up gravel and dirt (24), and mixing the emulsion with the gravel and dirt (24) so as to form an emulsion stabilized layer (18). The emulsion stabilized layer (18) is then spread and compacted to create a paved roadway . Following this, a wearing surface may be applied to the emulsion stabilized layer (18).
