What is FDR? |
|
 |
|
Deteriorating roads are a constant problem for
cities and counties. That’s why engineers and public works
officials are turning to a process called Full-Depth
Reclamation (FDR) with cement.
This process rebuilds worn out asphalt pavements by recycling
the existing roadway. The old asphalt and base materials are
pulverized, mixed with cement and water, and compacted to
produce a strong, durable base for either an asphalt or concrete
surface.
Full-depth reclamation uses the old asphalt
and base material for the new road. There’s no need to haul in
aggregate or haul out old material for disposal. Truck traffic
is reduced, and there is little or no waste.
Full-depth reclamation uses the materials from
the deteriorated asphalt pavement, and, with the addition of
cement, creates a new stabilized base.
A surface consisting of a thin bituminous chip
seal, hot-mix asphalt, or concrete completes the road. The
recycled base will be stronger, more uniform, and more moisture
resistant than the original base, resulting in a long,
low-maintenance life. And most important, recycling costs are
normally at least 25% to 50% less than the removal and
replacement of the old pavement.
