Varsseveldseweg Doetinchem
6 km of asphalt reinforced with AsphaltX® in the binder course by Rusch Asfalt, commissioned by BUHA. Dosage of 500 g/tonne, with no change to the mix design.
The project in detail.
On the Varsseveldseweg in Doetinchem, 6 kilometres of asphalt were reinforced with AsphaltX® in the binder course. The work was carried out by Rusch Asfalt on behalf of BUHA.
The dosage was 500 grams per tonne of asphalt, with no change whatsoever to the mix design. The mixture used is, moreover, 100% circular in accordance with BRL 9023 — reinforcement and circularity go hand in hand here.
