What is Cold In-Place Asphalt Recycling?
This innovative road reconstruction process is a fast, cost-effective alternative to more traditional methods of rebuilding asphalt roadways. You can use it when existing pavement has aged, cracked or deteriorated beyond the point that normal road maintenance operations are practical or cost effective. Cold In-Place Asphalt Recycling makes use of the original aggregate and some of the old asphalt cement that bound the aggregate into binders and wearing courses. Not only is this older aggregate often high quality, re-using it eases demand for quality virgin aggregate, which is in limited supply in many areas. Cold In-Place Recycling has been used since the early 1980´s to reconstruct nearly every type of asphalt-based roadway. These projects include “farm-to-market” roads that were constructed without a proper asphalt base, busy residential roads, urban commuter thoroughfares, and major feeder systems for industrial parks. This process can also be used to rehabilitate all types of aspha
