Structural Road Recycling
Structural Road Recycling restores a failed road by recycling and reusing the existing construction materials to construct a new road base with strength and life expectancy that is equal to that of a traditionally designed and reconstructed road. The need to dispose of huge volumes of waste materials, import new aggregates and hot bituminous bound material is greatly reduced resulting in a lower carbon footprint and lower cost. The Structural Road Recycling process is also a convenient method of dealing with ‘tar’ residues in road construction, as the resultant recycled mix encapsulates the hazardous contaminants, rendering them harmless to the environment and avoids the need to remove them by excavation for disposal in a licensed hazardous waste facility.
Reconstruction
An expensive treatment and is used as a last resort when the road surface and underlying layers have deteriorated to an advanced stage. Repairs may involve a deep excavation, and replacement of the sub-base stone layer in addition to the upper bituminous layers.
