Abstract
A process for reinforcing paving in which a second layer of paving is placed on top of a first layer. The process includes selecting a semi-rigid, open grid reinforcement of multi-filament reinforcing strands being fixed at cross-over points, the grid being in the form of a roll, a resin being applied to the strands of the grid and an activatable adhesive being applied on the resin to one side of the grid, continuously unrolling the grid, adhesive side down, essentially directly, evenly and flatly onto the first layer of paving, while maintaining the respective strands of the grid in substantially parallel alignment, activating the adhesive by applying one of heat and pressure to adhere the grid to the first paving layer and substantially eliminate bubbles, raised portions or sideways distortion of the strands of the grid during application of the second layer and applying the second layer of paving on top of the grid and the first layer. Openings in the grid provide for complete and substantially direct contact between the first and second paving layers.
