Description:

The project consists of the production of a new evolved plant for the production of asphalt for road surfaces with the use of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement. It is MARINI’s intention to implement a technological solution which grants considerable benefits in terms of environmental impact, cost savings, versatility, asphalt production quality.

Objectives:

The aims of the project are as follows: - incentives for the use of Recycled Asphalt Pavement material - considerable savings in the costs of production - reduction of environmental impact of the procedure The implementation of the project will make a significant contribution to the technological, strategical and organizational development of MARINI.

Results:

The results expected from the project are as follows: - execution of the overall project for the new plant, including virtual models for the simulation of structural/thermic critical rating - execution of a prototype of asphalt plant using recycled material + experimental mock-ups - purchase of machinery to implement production procedure correlated with building of prototype.
