The mixture of gravel, sand and binder used to make roadways is called "asphalt". Also called asphalt, asphalt requires special attention because it is one of the key materials for the safety of road users. Its manufacture, transport and storage must meet strict standards.

Transport and storage of asphalt

Asphalt mix is generally a hot mix that requires transportation in dump trucks. The law requires that these dumpsters, equipped with traps to discharge the asphalt, are covered throughout the transport. That’s why there are specially designed tarps to cover and protect truck bodies. These specific equipment make it possible to secure the transport but also to preserve the obligatory temperatures to guarantee a good application of the asphalt.

The tarpaulin also protects the bituminous mixture when it is stored for several weeks away from the weather.

The asphalt must remain both compact and homogeneous, from its manufacture to delivery to the site of the work. For this, it is important that the protective cover used allows to preserve the properties of the asphalt.

The tarpaulin must allow a homogenization of temperatures under penalty of seeing a degradation of the asphalt and in particular an oxidation of the bitumen.

A coating for which the conditions of transport or storage have not been followed, once put in place, will present the following risks: cracks, infiltration, grubbing up and de-icing,… These are all risk factors that degrade the road and become hazards for users.
