‘VIA’ RANGE INTRODUCTION CEMEX’s ‘VIA’ range of Asphalts offer a cost effective, high performance solution for highway and local authorities, housing developers and even home owners looking for a new driveway. Experts at the CEMEX UK National Technical Centre are available to discuss your specific requirements and applications.

THIN SURFACE COURSE SYSTEM BBA HAPAS approved Excellent durability Good texture and retention Excellent skid resistance Deformation resistant VIATEX® is a thin surface course asphalt developed by CEMEX to meet the specific needs of the UK market. Due to its stable aggregate skeleton, it is able to provide significant benefits to the road user, the surfacing contractor and the highways specifying authority. VIATEX® also makes an important contribution to noise reduction objectives on the UK road network. In essence, the structure of VIATEX® and the combination of its various components result...

POLYMER MODIFIED THIN SURFACE COURSE SYSTEM BBA HAPAS approved Excellent durability Good texture and retention Excellent skid resistance Deformation resistant Reduced spray Lower surface noise VIAPAVE® is a thin surface course asphalt designed by CEMEX to meet the demands of modern highways. Due to its stable aggregate skeleton/Polymer Modified Binder it is able to provide significant benefits to the road user, the surfacing contractor and the highways specifying authority. VIAPAVE® also makes an important contribution to noise reduction objectives on the UK road network. The reduction in noise...

STONE MASTIC ASPHALT (SMA) BINDER COURSE Excellent durability Deformation resistant Highly Waterproof VIABASE® is an innovative SMA binder course that provides a cost effective, performance driven solution to modern road maintenance strategies. As thin surfacing systems have become more widespread in their use, maintenance strategies have undergone a subtle change. Surface dressing has declined significantly in the UK and with local authorities having to take on an increased burden of highway management and maintenance, new, more cost effective approaches are being adopted. VIABASE® is a high...

TECHNICAL INFORMATION VIATEX® / VIAPAVE® / VIABASE® PERFORMANCE FUEL RESISTANCE VIATEX®, VIAPAVE® and VIABASE® have extremely good deformation resistance due to the aggregate skeleton described. Typical wheel tracking rates of less than 1mm per hour at 40ºC and 2mm per hour at 60ºC have been measured. The mastic fills the voids in the skeleton and the additives assist in the increase in the thickness of the binder coating. VIATEX® FR and VIAPAVE® FR are specially designed to limit the potential damage to bituminous surfaces caused by fuel and oil spillages, combined with superior durability for...

DURABLE SURFACING FOR DRIVEWAYS AND ACCESS AREAS Superior performance Excellent durability Suitable for high stress, low speed traffic Reduces damage caused by power steering VIADRIVE® is a surfacing system specifically developed to provide a durable and aesthetically pleasing surface for driveways and access roads. Conventional surfacing materials have traditionally provided a low maintenance and cost effective solution for driveways, access areas and parking zones. Nevertheless, as extended periods of warmer weather have become more frequent and the use of power steering more widespread, the...

COLOURED ASPHALT SOLUTIONS A true “coloured” Asphalt Available in three colours Colour stable The use of colour is now without doubt an extremely important element in modern construction and landscaping. Coloured bituminous surfaces can be used either purely aesthetically or to fulfil specific functional or design criteria. They can effectively delineate particular areas, such as parking bays, cycle and bus lanes and through routes and enhance safety standards on estate roads by emphasising their primarily residential use. GENERAL APPLICATIONS AND USES Visual links between buildings or areas...

PROJECT EXAMPLE VIASHADE® has been developed and tested through a carefully controlled research and development programme. Working closely with selected suppliers to ensure the clear binders and the pigments selected provide the consistent quality and durability required and are suitable for the traffic categories specified. Birmingham’s busy bus lane on the Hagley Road was one of the first sites in the UK to use VIASHADE®. It was surfaced by CEMEX using trained, certified operators with 400 tonnes of VIASHADE® VS4 heavy duty surface course in green. CEMEX recognised the need for high performance...

VIASHADE® TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION TABLE Product Category Material Description Layer Thickness (mm) Initial Texture Depth (mm) 0/6mm Dense Surface Course 0/10mm Close Graded Surface Course INSTALLATION AND SITE PREPARATION The system should only be installed on a sound substrate. This surface should be clean and free from deleterious material such as: construction debris, soil, salt, organic matter and spilt asphalt (tailboard scrapings etc.) The substrate should be dry and free from standing water and ice, especially at the joints. All ruts, cracks and deformations should be appropriately treated...
