Abstract

This paper was presented at the "New products and technology : what the future holds" session. These proceedings are available on CD-ROM. This paper presents the results of the program undertaken by Dufferin Construction Company, in cooperation with the MTO, to develop a material and construction specification for the supply and placement of cement treated open graded drainage layers (OGDL). The paper outlines the material development, and subsequent construction and quality control activities completed during test sections constructed as part of MTO contract 94-83 for the reconstruction of the QEW between Niagara Falls and Hamilton. Two separate test sections were constructed in 1996 and 1997, and each section was 500 m long and included 4 lanes of pavement. The development program established that cement treated OGDL, placed with conventional asphalt paving eqipment, is a viable alternative to asphalt treated OGDL based on costs and drainage properties. The paper outlines benefits and concerns realized with cement treated OGDL when compared to asphalt treated OGDL. (A)
