Geneva Rock Products and Jones & DeMille Engineering

Project location: Brush Wellman Road

For this project, the scope was to rehabilitate a failing roadway. The scope when funding was applied for was a 4-inch mill and 4-inch fill. In the end, over 55,000 tons of fiber-reinforced HMA were placed in a 3-inch mill and a 4-inch fill section. Also, because of available funding, a micro surfacing was placed on top of the newly placed HMA. One of the unique aspects of this project was the placement of the fiber-reinforced HMA. This material was elected because of the rural nature of the roadway.

The project’s collaborative efforts were the key to producing consistent mix and placement properties, allowing a great ride for the traveling public.
