HOT-MIX MAGAZINE 22 VOLUME 19 NUMBER 1 R oyalcrest Paving & Contracting, Ltd., based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, serves the Greater Toronto Area and surrounding municipalities. The company's management team has a collective 135 years of con- struction experience in the asphalt paving industry. During the past 15 years, Royalcrest has targeted a niche market in recreational pav- ing, which includes park pathways, walkways, and golf courses. "We specialize in park develop- ment," said Doug Kirton, president of Royalcrest Paving & Contracting, Ltd. "The work we do is artistic and highly detailed; it takes the right equipment to tackle the intricate project designs." THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT Due to the nature of the projects, Royalcrest was seeking a durable asphalt paver able to meet the pav- ing width of a typical pathway, 2 m to 3 m (6 ft, 6 in to 9 ft, 10 in). "We wanted a paver with high- way paving characteristics that was capable of doing the detailed work required in the recreational projects and also satisfy the heavy workload of our industrial/com- mercial projects," said Kirton. "Over the past few years, we've tried various manufacturers' pavers. When we reviewed the CP-100, we took into account the support and service from the Carlson dealer in Eastern Canada, Johnstone Brothers Equipment Corp. Based on the CP-100's features and our relationship with the dealer, the Carlson paver was our choice of equipment." CP-100 COMMERCIAL PAVER According to Kirton, the CP-100 has the durability and strength of a highway paver. The unit allows for easier accessibility for mainte- nance, such as greasing the auger and conveyor bearings. The EZ Screed and heated endgate are valuable features on the machine.
