Cool pavement brings down temperature by 8 oC

THE asphalt cryogenic material used in pilot cool pavement project completed recently has helped reduce temperature by 8 degree C compared to non-coated asphalt, the Public Works Authority (Ashghal) tweeted on Wednesday. Temperature sensors for cool pavement asphalt material were measured at 57 degree C while non-coated asphalt temperature was recorded at 65 degree C. (TNN)
