Thermal imaging makes it visible: what looks uniform often hides temperature differentials well above the critical 14 °C threshold. Beyond that point, compactability drops, air voids rise, and the road deteriorates faster than planned. 🌡️
According to Stroup-Gardiner and Brown (2000), follow-up costs from temperature segregation can reach nearly 50 % of original construction costs, with pavement life shortened by up to seven years. Temperature differentials occur with every single truck load. This is a systematic problem, not an occasional one. 🔬
Push-off trailers keep temperature and gradation homogeneous throughout the entire material transfer, before the mix reaches the screed.
