Road pavements can fail prematurely due to the lateral displacement and weakening of base course aggregate or asphalt fatigue. ACE Fiber is a significant achievement in additive technology to enhance asphalt performance. To create ACE Fiber, Aramid Fibers and Sasobit wax are blended together to simultaneously address the two major distresses affecting hot or warm mix asphalt performance today: Cracking and rutting. The structural strength provided by ACE Fiber may allow for the installation of thinner aggregate sections, reduced asphalt thickness, or the improved performance of conventionally designed structures.

In addition to a review of recent Canadian ACE Fiber installations, we'll explore:
  • What is FRAC (Fiber Reinforced Asphalt Concrete)?
  • Existing design methods
  • Incorporating research
  • Optimizing with ACE Fiber
This webinar will be co-presented by Joe Dennis, Director (Asphalt Division), Surface Tech and Michael Simons, General Manager (Ontario), Nilex.

Joe Dennis obtained his Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Ohio State University and has nearly 29 years of technical expertise in the construction industry. At Surface Tech, Joe leads the Asphalt Division's product development with a focus on the cornerstone product ACE Fiber.

Michael Simons is a Professional Engineer with 20 years of Civil and Geotechnical Engineering experience across Canada relating to the design, sales and construction of innovative engineering solutions to problems related to many facets of civil and geotechnical construction projects. At Nilex, Michael is the General Manager for the company's Ontario regional office.
