The original overlay construction could not be guaranteed for the prescribed period and had two workflows over the runway.
Ooms has engineered an alternative solution with one workflow and the needed guarantee on stopping reflective cracking. This solution mini- mized applying risks and guarantee risks, with almost no extra costs.
The solution is engineered with ARCDESO. This exclusive software predicts the return of reflective cracking combined with a maintenance measure.
ARCDESO is a program which gives insight into the effects of various possible solutions to paving problems involving reflective cracking.
Primarily ARCDESO is intended for use when designing pavement structures using GlasGrid® or similar products together with high elastic asphalt constructions and elastic bond coats.
The way different maintenance solutions prevent the return of reflective cracking, in time, can be compared with the software.
