New Roads

Application Overview

New road pavements are required to deliver long-term structural performance under increasing traffic loads and demanding environmental conditions. Cracking within the asphalt layer reduces pavement stiffness and allows water to infiltrate, weakening foundation layers and subgrade over time.

POME’s asphalt reinforcement systems are engineered to enhance the performance of new road constructions by controlling crack development, improving structural capacity, and reducing long-term maintenance requirements through the incorporation of high-performance asphalt interlayers.

Ground Challenges in New Road Construction

Early-Age Cracking
Thermal movement and shrinkage can induce cracking shortly after construction.
Traffic-Induced Fatigue
Repeated loading generates tensile strains that initiate fatigue cracking within the asphalt.
Moisture Penetration
Water ingress through microcracks accelerates deterioration of the pavement structure.
Long-Term Performance Demands
New roads are expected to meet extended design lives with minimal intervention.

POME’s Solution

Integrates asphalt reinforcement interlayers between asphalt courses to improve pavement durability.
Increases tensile stiffness of asphalt layers, reducing strain under traffic loading.
Acts as a stress-relieving and moisture-limiting layer within the pavement structure.
Delays the initiation and propagation of fatigue and thermal cracking.
Supported by POME’s engineering team to ensure optimal system selection and design compatibility.
