Old, failing asphalt roads traditionally require complete reconstruction—demolition, removal and hazardous waste removal and storage and rebuilding compromised layerworks and new surfacing.
Soil Solutions’ asphalt recycling technology rehabilitates deteriorated roads by recycling the existing pavement in place, adding EBS and relaying in place delivering a now water resistant asphalt surface with a 20 + year life at a fraction of the cost.
Cold In-Place Recycling (CIR) Process:
Milling and Pulverization: The existing asphalt pavement is milled or pulverized to specified depth (typically 75-150mm), breaking it into uniform particles while leaving it in place.
On-Site Mixing: EBS is mixed with the reclaimed asphalt in place creating a new stabilized base layer.
Compaction: The recycled mixture is compacted to specified density, creating a new water resistant surface with excellent structural properties.
Advantages Over Traditional Reconstruction:
Cold In-Place Recycling eliminates complete demolition and removal, uses 95% existing materials (minimal waste generation), reduces material hauling dramatically (reduced emissions and traffic disruption), enables faster construction (roads reopen quicker), provides extended pavement life (20-30 additional years), and delivers superior environmental profile (minimal waste, reduced carbon footprint, resource conservation).
When CIR Is Appropriate:
Cold In-Place Recycling works best when asphalt surface has deteriorated (cracking, raveling, surface distress), base layer remains structurally sound, drainage is adequate.
