Abstract:

New equipment is being developed in Canada to rehabilitate worn surfaces on unpaved low-volume forest roads. The Forest Engineering Research Institute of Canada has monitored trials of three road-rehabilitation options in recent years. The McNolty dual-rotor mobile windrow crusher, first introduced in British Columbia in 1989, has reached the operational stage in its development. It crushes oversize rock that has accumulated on roadsides and produces an ideal resurfacing aggregate. More recently, the single-rotor mobile windrow crusher (F.A.H.R. Industries, Edmunston, New Brunswick) has been adapted to rehabilitation work on forest roads in eastern Canada. Also, in British Columbia an excavator-mounted rock grinder has been tested to assess its ability to remove rock protruding from a worn road surface. With planning and preparation, these systems offer cost-effective alternatives for improving road surface conditions.
