ENERGY CONSERVATION

The need for energy conservation in road construction and maintenance has resulted in more attention being given to recycling of bituminous materials. Cost comparison tables are given comparing highway construction costs for recycled and conventional bituminous materials. Energy conservation and cost saving using recycling techniques results from reduced haulage requirements, and less production energy for new binder and aggregate drying. Projects briefly mentioned show that cold mix recycling presents the greatest range of reported cost savings resulting from a combination of available methodology and equipment options. (TRRL)
