Cold In place

For my friend Atlas Rob who is fascinated by cold in place trains...these pictures are from a Canadian outfit in Quebec.

The mill is a older CMI PR1050 (I hate them) the paver/mixer/pugmill is known as a Midland mixer, very old.

that rigging has the same paint scheme as miller paving's stuff here in ontario...wonder if they are related somehow, or if it was sold to them and never got repainted?

Talon Sebeq would indeed be a part of Miller Paving. Miller have so many companies is almost impossible to list them all. They go from Nova Scotia to upper north western Ontario. They even have a division in Atlanta, Georgia.

All the divisions maintain that paint scheme.

:notworthy " fascinated " ;) intrested, amazed :D

Thanks MD. Its the shear size of the operation that I find mind boggling.

Thank you very much for the pictures. I trully wonder if we will get to see a set up like this in the UK, there are places ( many ) that could sure do with a visit. :D

The Government would have to approve it as a legitimate form of resurfacing and I'm sure you would see plenty of it. As to why they haven't to this point is interesting.

The only logical conclusion I can come too is that it is just tooooo big, coupled to the number of manholes and other metal work that we have a habit of hidding in our streets :rolleyes: I assume that it works out as more trouble than its worth.

That or nobody has thought about it properly. :tong

A good few years ago I was on a dual carriageway refurb that experimented with a form of recycling. The plainings were trucked away to a plant where god knows what was done to them, they then came back and were relayed. Not very successful from memory.

It did surprise me when that fella mentioned they do alot of this type of recycling in the city (pictures to share thread) The places they are mainly used that I have seen around on secondary roads in the country. At times, they only allow that recycled surface as a base, paving a topcoat over it. But I have driven over roads which were obviously recylced in place without an additional layer on top.

Over here when they mill, the planings (millings) are taken to the asphalt plant and reused in the mix. Most all state contracts here call for a percentage of RAP(recycled Asphalt Product). In the midwestern states there are huge piles of RAP out in the middle of nowhere owned by the state. They have gotten extremely tight about what happens with the millings (planings) when it is taken away from the mill by the truck.

Those Roadtec trains look mighty spiffy...
