Turning RAP into a value added pavement asset

Client specifications limit the amount of RAP that can be used in asphalt, however there are also some major obstacles that an asphalt manufacturer has to overcome which include inter alia plant capability, mix type and application, RAP availability and quality. This paper will describe the journey undertaken by Boral Asphalt to manufacture asphalt with up to 30 per cent RAP using a double drum plant in Sydney without compromising the performance of the final product.
