‘Asphalt Concrete Paving Construction Guidelines’ Fully Revised
Increased Activation of Recycled Asphalt Paving, Over 20% Carbon Reduction,
|
, ‘[Edaily reporter Park Kyung-hoon] The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport announced on the 17th that it has prepared a fully revised version of the ‘Asphalt Concrete Paving Construction Guidelines,’ which will be distributed to road management authorities nationwide on the 18th.’,
,
, ‘This revision was developed over approximately three years starting in October 2021 through policy research, expert discussions, public hearings, etc., in response to the climate crisis and to reflect recent technological developments since the unified publication of the guidelines in 2017.’,
,
, ‘The revised guidelines focus on expanding carbon reduction road paving technologies to address climate change and enhance road safety, and extending the service life of pavements.’,
,
, ‘In particular, it aims to promote the practical application of carbon reduction technologies by activating recycled asphalt paving and expanding the application scope of medium-temperature asphalt mixtures, which have over 20% more carbon reduction effects compared to conventional asphalt.’,
,
, ‘New standards were also introduced for the construction of bus-only lanes prone to early pavement damage and to enhance the durability of drainage pavements.’,
,
, ‘Standards were established to improve asphalt quality criteria to reduce rutting that damages pavement smoothness, enhance road pavement durability, and extend service life.’,
,
, ‘Director of Road Bureau at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport, Lee Woo-jae, expressed hope that through this guideline revision, the activation of low-carbon road paving technologies and the enhancement of pavement durability would contribute to achieving 2050 Net Zero carbon neutrality in the road construction sector, thereby realizing safer roads.’
