Dealer Support Helps Chambers Excavating Dig in to Soil Stabilization
Ownership change brings new direction for Oklahoma City contracting firm
June 10, 2019
Chambers Excavating & Construction’s specialty is stabilization and it uses Wirtgen soil stabilizers/cold recyclers to get the job done. “We typically get 40 to 60 feet per minute with the Wirtgen machines,” Owner/President Cody Hill says. “They have increased our production by 30 to 40 percent, with the ability to run anything through them – fly ash, lime, cement or slurry – and achieve a quality finished product.”

Michigan installs first recycled tire chip seal application in the United States
December 3, 2018
While the hot rubber chip seal (HRCS) construction is similar to a traditional chip seal, it requires a special asphalt binder distributor. Because the reacted rubber modified binder has a high viscosity, a normal distributor that would be used for an asphalt emulsion application would have had difficulties to spray the rubber modified binder.

Wirtgen 3800 CR Recycler Put On the Spot in San Jose Resurface Project
3800 CR recycler is working in situ with Vogele VISION 5200-2i tracked paver to remove and transfer recycled material to the paver to resurface San Jose's main traffic arteries
August 21, 2017
The milling and mixing rotor of the Wirtgen 3800 CR granulates the damaged asphalt layers to a depth of 18 cm. At the same time, cement is mixed in and water and bitumen emulsion or foamed bitumen are injected into the mixing chamber via injection bars. The final mix is transferred via the discharge conveyor directly to the material hopper of the Vögele paver which then paves true to line and level. Afterwards, Hamm asphalt rollers compact the pavement.

How to Work with Thinlays
Thin asphalt overlays, designed specifically for preservation of existing pavements, are gaining momentum in the industry and need to be treated differently than typical overlays.
August 14, 2015
Thinlays are a popular approach to pavement preservation because of their ability to provide improved ride quality, reduce pavement distresses, maintain surface geometrics, reduce noise levels, reduce life-cycle costs, and provide long-lasting service.
