FHWA Local Aid Support Announces Innovation Exchange Webinar
on Cold in Place Recycled Asphalt
Thursday, August 18, 2022 | 2:00–3:30 p.m. ET
Cold In-Place Recycling (CIR) consists of recycling asphalt pavement without the application of heat. It is a process that often uses a multi-unit recycling train that consists of tanker trucks, milling machines, crusher/screener units, mixers, and pavers. It provides an alternative to traditional mill and overlay. CIR is an on-site application for roadways that do not have major underlying structural issues, such as deep cracking, poor drainage, pumping and saturated subgrade materials. It is an option for fixing pavement failures such as potholes, rutting, fatigue and block cracking. CIR has been in practice for decades yet is underutilized. CIR supports greener practices, sustainability, and cost effectiveness.
The Federal Highway Administration will host an informative Innovation Exchange webinar with subject matter experts to discuss the benefits of CIR, optimal project conditions, performance specifications, and what you need to know before considering CIR in future pavement contracts.
