Description
Recycle Plus® is an environmentally friendly solution that uses Road Science’s™ cold mix technology to recycle reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) into new pavements.
What goes into the Recycle Plus? The solution is composed of, but not limited to, four key elements:
- Materials: The Recycle Plus process uses quality materials designed to give the cold mix asphalt a good coating during processing, workability during placement, and structural integrity of the mix in its end-use on the road.
- Design: An integral part of the Recycle Plus process is the design of the mixture. Our labs evaluate each RAP to be used for Recycle Plus processing, and design the mixture to meet end-result specifications for coating, return to traffic, strength of laboratory compacted sample of the mix, and retained strength (moisture susceptibility).
- Equipment: The Recycle Plus process manufactures asphalt cold mixes at a central location using equipment specially designed to provide a consistent gradation for the structural integrity of the mix. The equipment removes foreign materials such as rubberized crack filler, crushes and sizes the RAP to an acceptable gradation, blends Recycle Plus emulsified asphalt, water and other additives in the proper proportions, and mixes the materials to give an even coating.
- Technical Support: No Recycle Plus project is completed without extensive technical support. Trained personnel are available on site during the manufacturing process to adjust parameters as needed to ensure the cold mix asphalt meets the Recycle Plus specifications of coating, return to traffic, mixture strength and resistance to moisture. The mix is sampled and tested for quality at regular intervals.
Depending upon local needs for road rehabilitation and construction, we may also offer other services as part of the Recycle Plus solution.
