Description
Patton Township used FORTA-FI® fibers produced by HRI Curtin Gap Plant in two projects in 2012, Upper Julian Pike and Green Tech Drive. Both roads were badly cracked and fiber reinforced asphalt was used to extend the life of the pavement. Green Tech Drive (the entrance to the Patton Township offices) was edge milled along the curbs 4’ wide then both roads were overlayed with a 1½” PG64-22 wearing course that included ¾” FORTA-FI® fibers.
