Construction
Bitumen is a petroleum-based black sticky liquid. By removing lighter fractions from crude oil during the refining process, bitumen is obtained. Bitumen is the heaviest component of crude oil, or residue. Nevertheless, bitumen is a high-value product in both road building and construction.
For the most part, bitumen is used in road construction, particularly in the manufacture of asphalt. Besides being used as a binder in the making of asphalt, bitumen is used in a variety of ways in both road construction and construction. Bitumen is such a high-quality product that it is used in various maintenance applications in the construction industry. In the construction industry, maintenance measures to extend service life are preferred over material replacement in the context of sustainability.
