  • Patent number: 11624160
    Abstract: An asphalt paving system comprising a plurality of dispensing shafts and a plurality of rolls of pavement reinforcing membrane. The plurality of dispensing shafts are adapted to be mounted on an asphalt paving machine, where at least a portion of at least one dispensing shaft extends from at least one side of the paving machine, and at least a portion of at least one dispensing shaft extends to a front of the paving machine. Each roll of pavement reinforcing membrane is supported by one of the plurality of dispensing shafts. As the asphalt paving machine moves, the plurality of dispensing shafts dispense the pavement reinforcing membrane continuously beneath the asphalt paving machine and the hot asphalt material is dispensed from the hopper on top of the pavement reinforcing membrane beneath the asphalt paving machine.

  • Publication number: 20180258594
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an improved design and improved method of installation of stress absorbing membrane interlayers, commonly known as SAMIs, used for strengthening and waterproofing asphalt pavements in road or highway surfacing operations. By a novel method of modifying a standard paving machine the present invention makes it easier and more convenient to install SAMI membranes beneath a layer of new asphalt pavement, thus providing greater resistance to pavement cracking resulting in lower overall maintenance costs.
