Asphalt Reclamation

Recycling Old Asphalt to Lay the Foundation for New Roads

The process of rehabilitating existing paved structures is known as reclamation, where existing pavement and paving subgrade are pulverized and blended with chemical additives to create a more stable, homogenous base. The reclaimed pavement is then resurfaced using new material for a high quality product and replaces the old methods which typically consisted of removal and replacement with new materials. The new reclamation methods being used reduce labor, equipment, and fuel resources, but most importantly, conserves natural resources by recycling the existing pavement.
