HOT-MIX MAGAZINE 23 VOLUME 19 NUMBER 1 "We were going through a set of auger bearings almost every year with our other paver until the CP-100," said Kirton. "The EZ Screed is a tremendous advantage along with the heated endgate. In our climate, the heated endgate allows us to match joints seam- lessly." BISHOP ALLEN ACADEMY An example of the type of projects Royalcrest is known for is the completion of a running track at Toronto's Bishop Allen Academy. "We were able to pave a 15 ft (4.57 m) width path with the screed fully extended without any loss of power," noted Kirton. "The com- pleted running track had no seams or joints; the mat was perfect. We used 276 tons (250 tonnes) of base and 150 tons (136 tonnes) of sur- face asphalt to create a 2 in (5.08 cm) base and 1.5 in (3.81 cm) sur- face. We finished in one day versus two, and with just one pass." Kirton shared: "The productivity of the CP-100 gives us a competitive advantage. Our ability to finish a project in less time and with excel- lent quality truly adds to our bottom line." LYNGATE NORTH PARK Lyngate North Park in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, is another example of the intricate projects Royalcrest is able to handle with the Carlson CP-100. "Lyngate North Park was difficult to pave due to its geometric design," said Kirton. "We paved widths from 3 m to 4.5 m (9 ft, 10 in to 14 ft, 9 in). The key attribute of the CP-100 is its maneuverability. This project was not just straight paving. We had tight curves, and the CP-100 handled the layout with ease." Kirton and Ben Prentice, Royalcrest's field manager, contin- ued: "We found the right paver for our niche market in park develop- ment. The Carlson CP-100 delivers top quality material handling like the big machines, yet packaged in a smaller, robust design. We're more than pleased with the results." In addition to recreational projects, Royalcrest also serves the commer- cial, industrial, and some residential markets for asphalt paving.
