In June 2012, the North Carolina DOT completed a rejuvenation and friction restoration project on a 9-year old section of open graded friction course (OGFC) pavement located on I-40 in western North Carolina. The project’s two objectives were to extend the life of the pavement by using a maltene-based rejuvenator and increase the pavement’s skid values.
Before the project started, cores were taken to establish initial benchmark values of critical parameters. Subsequently, cores were taken for laboratory testing of specification compliance, rejuvenation effectiveness, and changes in skid numbers.
