WATERCON®

High-performance water-reactive cold mix asphalt for permanent repairs in harsh environments

ADCo is launching a high-performance water-reactive cold mix asphalt for permanent road repairs in harsh environments (wet, humid, heavy traffic) inspired by one of the Colas products portfolio named “Watercon^®”, which has been developed and used globally.

Watercon^® is particularly recommended for repairs on roads witnessing heavy traffic and are subject to major wear and tear, such as highways and industrial sites. It can be used for routine maintenance operations such as for filling potholes, trenches, and small-scale leveling in both conventional and wet, humid conditions.

Performance

Watercon^® is a water-reactive cold mix with a grading curve identical to that of a hot mix.

Designation	Unit	Watercon^® Performances
Percent passing, sieve 10mm	%	99.7
Marshall stability at 25°C	kN	9.189
Retained stability after Soaking Water, 48 hr, 25°C	%	130.2
Dynamic stability (Wheel Tracking Test)	No of cycles/mm	> 6,000

Watercon^® was used in the Viet Nam Directorate of Road’s project on Ho Chi Minh Road for patching application. This new cold mix asphalt can bring to customers many advantages such as safety, simplicity of application, high performance, workability, and flexibility. Further, it can be applied in rainy conditions as well to repair roads quickly for safety purposes.

Analyzing the advantages and evaluating certain criteria of emulsified asphalt prime during the construction of asphalt concrete pavements in Vietnam

Using emulsified asphalt prime (EAP) complying with TCCS 27:2019/ TCĐBVN to replace cutback asphalt and asphalt emulsion CSS-1 for prime coat in the asphalt concrete pavement structure is the trend around the world because of environmental and safety reasons and improving penetration quality. However, in Vietnam, the use of EAP for prime coat layer is still uncommon.

EcoStab® - First Cold in-place Recycling project in Vietnam

ADCo is involved in the rehabilitation of a 32-km segment of Highway 13, an important heavy-duty traffic road located in Southern Vietnam, connecting Ho Chi Minh to Cambodia. The road pavement was initially constructed in 2012. However, after 8 years of service under heavy traffic, the existing asphalt pavement started to show serious structural problems and rutting.

Successful Microsurfacing Trial Using ADCo Emulsion Technology for Pavement Maintenance

Microsurfacing using EcoGrip® (cationic quick-setting polymer-modified emulsion from ADCo) shows good performance even after over 1 year of service. The skid resistance and macrotexture are stable, and the pavements do not show any signs of cracking or shoving.

Track Record of Using 40/50 Bitumen for Asphalt Base Course and Wearing Course in Road Construction & Maintenance in Vietnam

The trend worldwide tends to substitute soft binders with harder grades, more adapted to sustain heavy traffic and high service temperatures. This paper focuses on the presentation of features and benefits of using 40/50 through case studies from two heavy-duty highway projects in Vietnam.

WATERCON® - High-performance water-reactive cold mix asphalt for emergency road surface repairs under rainstorm conditions

Watercon® is a high-performance water-reactive storable cold mix asphalt of ADCo that reacts with water to develop strength. It consists of aggregate and a special emulsion binder developed by ADCo. When Watercon® comes into contact with water, it immediately reacts and forms high mechanical strength for emergency road repairs in harsh conditions such as heavy loads, and high traffic density in rainstorm weather. It is used for Road surface repairs, Filling technical trenches, Sealing around light poles, manholes, etc.
