Thinking "Outside the Box" With Fiber


Government administrators, road superintendents, and transportation engineers get asked the same question on a regular basis, "When are you going to do something to fix MY street?"  We all know roads need periodic maintenance and repaving, but today's budget restraints mean certain asphalt paving projects get pushed back year after year.  How can our government officials keep up with the constant demand to pave more miles with less available money?

Consider thinking 'outside the box' and adding high-tensile strength fiber to your asphalt mix.  Studies conducted by the Arizona State University National Center on SMART Innovations showed that FORTA-FI® fiber-reinforced asphalt can increase the service life of some asphalt pavements by over 50%, or allow for thickness reductions in some asphalt roadway designs without sacrificing service life expectations.  Going stronger…going longer with FORTA-FI® is an affordable option for successful street projects, without breaking the budget.
