Description of the intervention

DESCRIPTION OF THE INTERVENTION.

In June 2012, following a private negotiation, the Consortium Company SENIGALLIA S.c.a.r.l. assigned to Pesaresi Giuseppe SpA, the supply and installation of the bituminous conglomerates of the new motorway junction (Base 0/30 modified hard, 25 cm thick and Binder 0/18 modified hard, 5 cm thick) of Monte Marciano, together with the scarifying of the pavements existing.

Again with reference to the extension works of the 3rd lane from North Rimini to Pedaso on the A14 Bologna – Bari – Taranto motorway, located in the Senigallia – North Ancona stretch, Lot 4 from Km 194 + 800 to Km 213 + 789, in the month of September 2014, following a private negotiation, the paving works of bituminous conglomerates (Base 0/30 modified hard, 20 cm thick and Binder 0/18 modified hard, thickness 5) were entrusted by the Customer Consortium Samac to Pesaresi Giuseppe SpA cm) and scarification of existing pavements

In both interventions, the construction of the bituminous conglomerate pavement on the stretches of expansion of the motorway site took place on embankments – laying surfaces in mixed cement prepared by the Customer.

After topographical positioning of the road sections to trace the plan-altimetric dimensions of the new platform, before the laying of the bituminous conglomerate or simultaneously with the laying of the first base layer, our workers proceeded to install longitudinal guide wires positioned at the height of the binder, so as to create for the operator in charge of guiding-adjusting the paver, both a longitudinal and transversal dimension and direction reference, able to determine thanks to it, the thickness of the intermediate strips necessary to cover the ‘full width of the new platform, which in cases of fully asymmetrical expansion reached up to about 15.00 -16 meters.

The road package for the project bituminous conglomerate, provided for a 0/30 base layer with hard modified bitumen of the total thickness, followed by the laying of two layers, taking care to offset the longitudinal joints by varying the width of the single strips. The spreading took place on several layers in order to guarantee the correct compaction of the conglomerate and to guarantee the achievement of the percentage of voids declared in the prequalifications. For this purpose, the rolling of the conglomerate takes place through the simultaneous use of a static rubber roller brand Bomag BW27RH weighing 24 tons. and a vibrating iron roller brand Bomag BW174AD weighing 10 tons.

Before the execution of the second base layer, and of the binder, the attack coat was made by spreading acidic bituminous emulsion, then proceeding to trace the exact thicknesses missing to reach the expected thickness, identifiable by using transverse wires referring to the traced sections.

The laying of the binder took place by means of a single layer of the minimum projected thickness of 5 cm, longitudinally following the yard tracing threads, and transversely the dimensions further traced on the last base layer, between the individual strips, in order to correct any slight depressions and / or imperfections on the underlying layer, always paying maximum attention to the offset of the longitudinal joints. During the laying of the binder, the containment edge in bituminous conglomerate was created, where necessary, about 10 cm wide and about 15 cm high.

By means of padding, the existing road section was raised and re-profiled. These were organised by the client in several phases compatible with the progress of the work, in day and / or night work shifts. In the case of temporary paddings subject to opening to vehicular traffic, or in any case each time conglomerate floors made at different times are joined, the previous paving has been scarified in order to revive, clean and homogenise the point of attachment between the new and old bituminous conglomerate.

Below, the most characterising elements of both the contracts described above are reported by points:

1

The milling machines

The efficient milling machines have made it possible to accurately respect both the prescribed milling depths and the narrow time window. The bituminous conglomerate was removed layer by layer, to separate the milled precious material and recycle it later.
2

The basic laying and Binder

For the base and Binder paving, after topographical positioning of the project sections, our technicians positioned longitudinal planar guide wires to follow when laying the new pavement. This tracking allows you to check the laying of the conglomerate at the exact project height at any time during the processing, determining in the case of laying in multiple layers, the exact thickness missing when reaching the height at each point of the road platform.
3

Kneading and sealing

In the basic and binder laying phase, the rubber rollers took on a leading role: immediately after the passage of the paver, they proceeded with the initial compaction, guaranteeing a good kneading and sealing effect, very important factors in demanding construction sites.
4

The Vogele pavers of Pesaresi Giuseppe Spa

The Vogele asphalt pavers and Bomag Asphalt Manager rollers played the lion's share in the laying phase of the base and binder asphalt mixes. The Vogele pavers of Pesaresi Giuseppe Spa offer first-rate paving quality. The screeds achieve a high degree of pre-compaction in a very uniform way over the entire paving width. Bomag Asphalt Manager is the intelligent regulation system that manages the available potential according to the real need, always providing the maximum possible compaction power.
5

Precision and quality

For a perfect laying of the base and binder layers, the paver was equipped with the 12 m Big Multiplex system with three laser sensors. In the road construction sector, the requirements of precision and quality are becoming increasingly stringent. By aligning three ultrasonic height sensors it is possible to simultaneously scan a physical reference in several suitably spaced points. The levelling automatism calculates a virtual reference level on the basis of the detected measurements. The three ultrasonic sensors are fixed on a beam up to 12 m long. The new system is therefore able to easily recognize and compensate for large irregularities such as undulations in the ground. The system therefore works more precisely than a single height sensor.
6

Qualified teams

In addition to the quality of the machines, the good training of the teams of operators is also an essential aspect for the success of the project. In order for our teams to be able to provide quality work, machine operators and paving foremen regularly attend refresher courses.
7

The study of mixtures

The study of the mixtures for the construction of bituminous conglomerates meeting the characteristics dictated by the Special Tender Specifications, was carried out entirely in the testing laboratory inside Pesaresi Giuseppe S.p.A. and approved by Spea S.p.A., as a control body appointed by the Works Management.
8

Pesaresi Giuseppe S.p.a. products

The bituminous conglomerate used in the processing was entirely produced in the plant owned by Pesaresi Giuseppe S.p.A Materials used: Base 0/30 modified hard and Binder 0/18 modified hard.
9

Logistics and transport

The transport of the bituminous conglomerate was entrusted exclusively to road trucks with covered body, guaranteeing average travel times of about 30/90 minutes from the place of loading to the processing area; since our site managers had previously determined the exact number of means of transport needed, the high-performance paver was able to express their full potential, making the most of the time available without any downtime.
