Field Study of High Pressure Water Jet for Highway Surface Maintenance
The field performance of high pressure water jets in highway surface repair is evaluated. Field tests were performed on a bridge in the metropolitan Chicago area. Both partial depth and full depth repairs were cut with optimum water jet parameters. Results indicate that a water jet can repair highway surfaces faster than any conventional method. Also, the cutting rates and repair costs for the water jet are substantially more favorable than for the jackhammer or any other conventional method. Additional advantages of the water jet are much lower noise levels, absence of dust, automated operation, application to numerous types of highway repairs, a roadway left wet for immediate pouring of new concrete, cleaned reinforcing bars which eliminate sandblasting, no damage to surrounding materials, and elimination of tool wearing expense since no tool is used.
