ROAD PAVEMENTS USING RECOVERED MATERIAL

Technicians and administrators appointed to construct and maintain the road serviceability must endeavour, now more than ever, to work out a budget that is positive both financially and energetically. The reconstruction of bituminous pavements aged and deteriorated by traffic, which is often higher than anticipated in the design phase, etc can be done with different technologies which are reviewed. From the most recent experience it appears that the technology which offers the best guarantees as to reliability and most advantageous financial and energetic savings is: cold scarification and recycling with drum mixer plants of 50 to 70% of recovered material. To conclude, it is recommended that all bituminous coated material, including that of unusable structures, be recovered in order to contain bitumen and new aggregate consumption in producing bituminous coated material for both maintenance and new road construction.
