Innovative Technological Solutions in Terms of Realizations Partial Renovation of Bituminous Roads Using SPRIDER

The article presented new approach to the repair of partial county roads - lower technical category - in Poland. Most roads in Poland have asphalt pavement [1]. Often these were surfaces designed and made in 80 - 90s for very light cars and horse carts. Many of these roads are in operation under much greater traffic and exceeded load design values. This results in degradation and destruction of the road surface. Due to the large backlog of road repairs and many years of negligence regarding road infrastructure resulting from financial constraints of road managers, an urgent need arose to repair several kilometres of asphalt roads, colloquially speaking, at the drop of a hat. Resurfacing and overhauls were first performed on national roads and, to a limited extent, on the roads of lower functional classes. Technologies currently used leave much to be desired in terms of quality and economy. One way to reduce the cost of contracting, while increasing the quality of the work, is to search for solutions using new technologies. The article proposes the use of a new Swedish device SPRIDER in Polish conditions. This paper presents this new technology and comparing to those commonly used and the very system for evaluating the condition of roads and classifying them for repairs.
