A new cold-in-place recycling train designed by EIFFAGE Route

In the context of global decrease of road budgets for maintenance and rehabilitation, construction firms are in search of technical solutions allowing the minimisation of costs while protecting the objectives of eco-responsibility and sustainable development. In this context, the solution of Cold in Place Recycling (CIPR) of roads pavements is recognized to be particularly successful. EIFFAGE Route has much experience and a long and successful history of pavement in place recycling with hydraulic binders and mixed binder thanks to the ARC 700 and ARC 1000 recycling CIRP Train systems of the past which have already reinforced more than 11 million square meters of pavements in France and abroad. From this long history and sound experience, in February 2014 EIFFAGE Route decided to develop a new CIRP Train systems specializing in emulsion recycling and benefiting from the latest advances both in terms of "mechanical" technology and in terms of "bitumen emulsion design". The milling and mixing machine employs a down cut process and using a specially designed emulsion, this CIRP Train systems enables recycling down to 15 cm of old surface and base layers all together with the addition of only 2.5 to 3.0 ppc bitumen emulsion. Thanks to these advanced technologies, EIFFAGE has, in three years become the biggest player in France in this technique, recycling more than 200 000 square meters of roads in 2016 only.
