11. Fuel Reductions

As part of the contract modification, the contractor monitored the fuel usage at the hot plant for the three different mixtures. The Advera WMA and the Sasobit WMA both exhibited a reduction in fuel consumption by 24% and 15%, respectively. It should be noted that the aggregate condition for the last day of paving with the Sasobit WMA was substantially wetter than the previous days of production of the control and Advera WMA due to a heavy rainstorm. The increased moisture content of the aggregate stockpiles would have increased the fuel consumption for this last day of paving.
