Full-Depth Reclamation Process

The pavement removal and replacement portion of this project will follow a road base rehabilitation method called Full Depth Recycling. utilizes the existing stone base material and rejuvenates it by incorporating cement and water. It is cost effective and time efficient versus removing and replacing the roadway. 

Did you know?
Streets that receive the FDR treatment can last up to 25 years as opposed to roadway resurfacings that typically last only 10 to 12 years. 

Other benefits include:

• Fewer environmental impacts
• Drastically reduced timelines
  
• Approximately 40-60% cost savings compared to full roadway reconstruction
