Resonant rubblization is the process of fracturing existing PCC pavement, in place, ready for a direct asphalt overlay.
Resonant rubblization was the method of choice on one of the busiest and most heavily traveled roads in Panama City, Panama, Avenida Domingo Diaz. Including multiple projects with various contractors throughout Central America that past 5 years, rubblization of Avenida Domingo Diaz was successfully performed in 2012 with the consortium ICA-MECO. Rubblization, with a hot mix asphalt overlay, is proven to have an initial design life of 22+ years, while being 65% less expensive and 5 times faster compared to total reconstruction.
