In-Place Recycling of Roads Results in Economic and Sustainability Benefits

Changing the Game with Partial and Full-Depth Recycling

Mixing cement with the urban quarry delivers the best value without jeopardizing design

The advantages of these solutions are abundant.

Economics – In-place recycling offers effective solutions that cost less than traditional rehabilitation methods Our road network is one of our largest assets. These technologies allow us to utilize materials that have already been purchased and placed. This, coupled with the life-cycle benefits, ensures prudent spending of infrastructure funds.

Sustainability – In-place recycling helps achieve reductions in GHG and truck trips that impact our roads and the environment. Adopting recycling strategies can help agencies hit measurable goals and gain recognition for innovation. While local agencies have been effective in implementation, Caltrans has been slow to adopt similar strategies.

Urban Quarry - Credible evidence shows our current CA quarries have limited life. The cost of transporting construction materials will increase in ways that will greatly impact our statewide economy and daily lives. Treating materials in-place will help conserve our dwindling aggregate supply.
