Construction of track pavement of temporary timber roads using the sidewalls of worn-out tires

Purpose: the track pavement is arranged on temporary logging highways (access roads, branches, whiskers), characterized by an insignificant freight turnover and a short service life (1-3 years), and is designed for the load from logging road trains based on MAZ, Ural and ZIL. Recycled car tires are used for the production of belts.

Development advantages:

  • increasing the bearing capacity of soil foundations of timber roads;
  • increased adhesion coefficient;
  • ensuring the passability of wheeled forest transport on waterlogged areas by reducing the area of direct contact of the wheels of the road train with the ground.
