Athird trial of lterchimica's graphene enhanced Gipave technology is underway in Oxfordshire UK. Contractor Milestone Infrastructure laid a 725m stretch on North Street in Middle Barton, a busy B-road which runs through the village in West Oxfordshire. "Our network is open to new things," said Oxfordshire County Council's head of highway network, Sean Rooney. "The things we are trialling today will lead to us doing things more efficiently and effectively in the future. If we want to move forward, we have to do things differently." The first trial of Gi Pave, which deploys an additive containing hard to recycle plastics and graphene, took place in 2019 in the village of Curbridge, comparing the performance of a mix containing Gipave with a mix made with standard bitumen. Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) tests carried out on the road surface at the end of 2022, yielded some very positive results, according to Raven. |
