Pavement Recycling
Pavement recycling by stabilization is a proven and cost effective technique for the rehabilitation of failed pavements. Hiway Stabilizers have been instrumental in developing this process via numerous long term road maintenance contracts.
The Process
The
mixing of binders such as lime, cement or cement blends with failed
existing pavement aggregates via a stabilizing hoe provides a
proven, long term solution for general maintenance, patching, seal
extensions and smoothing. The process can incorporate make up
aggregate to provide shape to the area prior to stabilizing, and
extra strength to the pavement.
Benefits
- Transforms a failing pavement into a structurally sound pavement with minimal effort.
- Significantly reduces the need to cut to waste the failed pavement material.
- Significantly reduces the amount of imported material needed to rebuild the pavement.
- Conserves aggregate resources.
- The speed of this process also greatly reduces inconvenience to traffic flows.
- Provides major cost advantages over more cut and fill type methods.
Binder Selection
Correct
binder selection is critical to this process and care must be taken
to identify the make-up of the pavement prior to stabilization.
Current binder options include:
- Lime
- Cement
- Cement blends
- KOBM Binder™
- Durabind™
