| Reduces
Costs - One
of the main benefits of Full Depth Reclamation
is that it costs less than the traditional
method of total reconstruction. A big part
of the cost savings comes from the re-use
of the existing roadway material. This can
be hot mix asphalt, chip and seal, cold mix
or simply aggregate. Whatever the material
it's already been purchased. In addition
to this, less energy is used - which means
additional cost savings. |
 |
| Work
is Done in Place -
Base Constructions' self-propelled reclaiming
machines pulverize the full flexible pavement
in place. These machines are designed to
size the pulverized material for easy shaping
and compaction. There's no need to excavate,
load and haul roadway materials away for
disposal off-site. With Full Depth Reclamation,
high-quality base material is produced right
for the job. |
|
| The
Work is Fast -
Base Constructions' skilled reclaiming crews
and productive reclaimers get the job done
quickly. While working speeds depend on the
depth and condition of the paved layer, the
process is much faster than traditional reconstruction
methods. |
|
| A
Sound Base is Formed -
Full Depth Reclamation is designed to convert
inadequate roadway sections into upgraded,
homogenous base which will provide a stable
platform for the appropriate pavement layer.
The new base has the correct cross-slope
and proper compaction from shoulder to shoulder. |
|
| Minor
Traffic Inconvenience - Often
the road or street remains open to traffic.
Depending on the width of the road, one-way
or two-way traffic can be maintained with
adequate traffic control. In most instances,
vehicles can run on the pulverized material
following shaping and compaction. If a portion
of the road is closed completely, the speed
of the process reduces the time that traffic
is detoured. |
|
| The
Process is Versatile - Full
Depth Reclamation, in addition to yielding
quality results on a range of structures,
allows for cross-slope and profile corrections,
minor roadway realignment, widening in conjunction
with the stabilization. It also allows the
designer great latitude in selecting additives
for further stabilization. During the process,
the base is open. It's the ideal time to
add more binder in the form of emulsified
asphalt. Other commonly used additives include
lime, fly-ash, Portland cement, various kiln
dusts, calcium chloride, and combinations
thereof. Virgin aggregate can also be blended
into the mew base. Large gains in base strength
result and surfacing costs can be reduced. |
|
| Reclaimed
Roads Last Longer - Service
life of the reclaimed road, before substantial
maintenance, is about 50% longer compared
to roads with frequent cracking which are
overlaid with equivalent HMA thickness. Cracking
and rutting are substantially reduced on
reclaimed roads and streets. Long-term maintenance
costs are less because the maintenance interval
is extended. |
