Pavement solutions that are good for business and good for the environment
Pavement Recycling Systems (PRS) has developed and proven recycling and renewal
strategies that equal or outperform brand new materials, at a lower cost. We improve
performance and reduce cost, while conserving resources and reducing carbon footprint.
Pavement Recycling Systems is committed to the belief that recycling is the best
long-term solution to the pavement portion of our nation's infrastructure challenges.
If you have a pavement issue, talk to us
We offer a full range of environmentally sound solutions for all stages of the pavement
lifecycle: pavement preservation, renewal, rehabilitation and construction. No other
firm in California offers the spectrum of services that we do. In a fragmented industry
where firms will specialize in one or two processes, Pavement Recycling Systems
has become the region's only integrated provider through internal development and
acquisition.
Return-on-infrastructure
Our founding principle is to increase return on the original infrastructure investment
by using what's already there, instead of replacing it. Through extensive R&D,
we have found better ways to improve and use in-situ materials. The result is the
preservation of scarce resources, from asphalt to energy.
Our processes reduce cost, energy use and carbon footprint as shown in the environmental
impact comparison below, which illustrates the materials and energy consumed by
new construction (including new base) versus our Full-Depth Reclamation. This illustrates
an actual case: the reconstruction of Long Beach Airport runways.
Environmentally Sound Solutions
Pavement Preservation
Our pavement preservation systems include slurries made with recycled rubber and
100% RAP, delivered by our Pavement Coatings division, which we acquired in 2006.
Pavement Renewal
Our Renew Pavement Group has improved the state-of-the-art for pavement renewal
techniques such as cold-in-place recycling.
Pavement Restructuring
PRS Full-Depth Reclamation (FDR) provided by our Pavement Restructuring Group has
become a viable alternative to new construction.
Stabilization Solutions
Our soil strengthening strategies convert in-place soils into structural foundations
for pavement and building, eliminating costly import-export.
Cold Milling
We provide cold planning and related services such as in-place pulverization, producing
recyclable asphalt.
Reclaimed Aggregates
Through the acquisition of Reclaimed Aggregates Inc., we process used material to
produce consistent quality recycled aggregate for construction as well as for our
own RAP slurries.
