Cold In-place Recycling Project

Posted Sep 2009

Cold In-Place Recycling

The City of Moreno Valley engineering staff was introduced to the Cold In-place Recycling (CIR) process 2 years ago, resulting in this project of 58,850 square yards. Recycling was expected to reduce the project duration by 5 working days at a cost reduction to the City over $262,000. PRS estimated 7 working days on the $475K contract with Hardy & Harper, but completed the job in 5 days.

Pavement Recycling Systems hosted 42 guests from 13 agencies & consultants on July 23rd in Moreno Valley. Two are currently planning future CIR projects. Observing agencies included:

Modesto Mall Repaved using Cold Recycled Asphalt

Modesto Mall pavement

Beginning in early September 2008, the Vintage Faire Mall in Modesto is being repaved. Don Mangan with Pave West, the paving contractor was looking for solutions that would save the Mall owner money without sacrificing quality. Having used cold recycled material before, Don knew it was a good solution and viable alternative to the more expensive "remove and replace" standard practice.

Don decided to hire Pavement Recycling Systems and met with the mall owner to lay out his strategy. Agreement was quickly made and work started the week of September 15th. First PRS milled off most of the existing asphalt, leaving only a thin skin behind or exposing the underlying base section.

American Asphalt & Concrete Paves

Processing

Reclaimed Aggregates Inc. (RAI) has, for many years been constructing Cold Central Plant Recycling (CCPR) projects for various public and private pavement owners. CCPR is a specialized and urban-friendly technology that can be used anywhere as an alternative to conventional paving methods in parking lots, streets, alley ways, frontage roads, cul-de-sacs, and storage yards.

In April 2009, Tony Barker, senior estimator with American Asphalt & Concrete located in Spring Valley, California, contacted RAI regarding preparing a "value engineering" proposal for an up coming project. RAI proposed using a 100% recycled Renew™ asphalt as opposed to using conventional hot mix asphalt repaving method originally specified for the project.

2009 cold recycling on California highways - the pilot project process works.

Cold in Place Recycling

Often a new roadway construction technology is not readily accepted by a contacting agency due a perceived failures with the first few projects constructed. These "failures" are often a result of the agency's lack of experience and poorly defined expectations among the parties involved as opposed to problems with the technology itself. In an attempt to successfully implement new pavement strategies and develop consistent expectations, Caltrans developed a pilot project process through the Pavement Preservation Task Group (PPTG). This pilot project process is intended to prevent hasty conclusions and provide all "new" technologies an opportunity to succeed.
