Longer Lasting Overlay
Cold In-Place recycling is a milling process used to produce a stabilized or improved base course for asphalt overlays. The process begins with milling and sizing of existing asphalt. Then a stabilizing or rejuvenating agent such as foamed asphalt or asphalt emulsion is added to the milled material, which is then relayed using an asphalt paver and compacted to produce a strong, stable base course. Cold In-Place Recycling is a single lane, train operation, well suited to rural roadways. CIR uses a portion of the “in-place” materials of a roadway only adding a small amount of virgin asphalt as a stabilizing agent, greatly reducing the volume of new virgin materials required to build a quality project.
