Traditionally, bitumen and aggregates are heated to a temperature of 150 degree Celsius for construction of roads. During that time, it was important to maintain the required temperature while producing the mix, laying, and compaction. In case if you fail to maintain the temperature requirement then it could lead to the reduced durability of the pavements. Here are the following challenges to maintain these temperature requirements.

  • In heavy rainfall area, it’s hard to hard to heat and lay mix.
  • The mix gets solid quickly in the high attitude and snow-bound areas
  • Long transit distance between hot mix plant and the project site.
  • Winter conditions

The prime solution to these problems is cold mix technology. The use of cold mix bitumen in Patna Bihar allows construction in all season including rainy season and wet aggregates. The cold mix bitumen is made of custom designed cationic bitumen. The main advantage of using cold mix bitumen is it eliminates the heating of aggregate and binder.
