Green Pavement Initiatives
Environmentally friendly pavement design,
preservation and rehabilitation strategies
include:
– Reuse and recycling of materials - Pavement recycling
- Roof shingles, rubber tires, glass and ceramics
- Blast furnace slag, fly ash and silica fume
– Warm mix asphalt concrete
– Drainable/permeable pavements
– Reduced noise and perpetual pavements

What is Pavement
Preservation?
• Coordinated approach to pavement
maintenance/rehabilitation:
– Planned not reactive
– Treatments are performed before the
appearance of significant distresses
– Extends the service life
![Page 5: Quantifying the Sustainable Benefits of Flexible …pavementvideo.s3.amazonaws.com/2012_Pavement_National/PDF/Wed 1015...– Cold In-Place Recycling and Pave 50 mm • Reconstruction](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051722/5aa7d0f47f8b9a424f8cc9f5/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Preservation vs. Routine
Maintenance
• Preservation treatments are designed to be
proactive, applied while the pavement is still in
good condition and maintains the pavement at
a high level of service
Versus
• Worst-first & reactive types of major
maintenance
– repairs made to existing distresses
– most common approach to pavement maintenance
![Page 6: Quantifying the Sustainable Benefits of Flexible …pavementvideo.s3.amazonaws.com/2012_Pavement_National/PDF/Wed 1015...– Cold In-Place Recycling and Pave 50 mm • Reconstruction](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051722/5aa7d0f47f8b9a424f8cc9f5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Strategy Definitions • Preservation
– planned strategy to extend the life of the pavement
– preserves the system, retards deterioration, and maintains or improves the functional condition of the system (without increasing structural capacity)
• Rehabilitation – renews the life of the pavement
– work undertaken to restore serviceability and improve an existing pavement to a condition of structural or functional adequacy
• Reconstruction – removal and replacement of the existing pavement structure
• Holding – strategy that prolongs the life of an asset (for a planned
period of time). Strategy employed to maintain acceptable levels of functionality or safety until full rehabilitation or reconstruction can be completed.

– Hot In-Place Recycling, chip seals, crack sealing, etc.
• Rehabilitation – Mill 50 mm, Pave 90 mm (Recycled Hot Mix)
– Cold In-Place Recycling and Pave 50 mm
• Reconstruction – Rubblize, granular grade raise, and thick HMA overlays
– Full depth reclamation (FDR) and HMA paving
– Full depth removal and replacement with new pavement structure

What is Sustainable Development?
“…. Development that meets the needs of
the present without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet their
own needs.”

Sustainable Pavement Criteria
“ ….safe, efficient, environmentally friendly pavements meeting the needs of present-day users without compromising those of future generations”
• Pavement preservation technologies address the
main criteria for a sustainable pavement:
– Optimizing the use of natural resources
– Reducing energy consumption
– Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
– Limiting pollution
– Improving health, safety and risk prevention
– Ensuring a high level of user comfort and safety

Impact Evaluation
• PaLATE software -
Pavement Life-cycle Assessment for
Environmental and Economic Effect
• Created by Dr. Horvath of the University of
California at Berkley
• Assists decision-makers in evaluating the
use of pavement materials in highway
construction (both LCC and Environmental
Impacts).

![Page 47: Quantifying the Sustainable Benefits of Flexible …pavementvideo.s3.amazonaws.com/2012_Pavement_National/PDF/Wed 1015...– Cold In-Place Recycling and Pave 50 mm • Reconstruction](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051722/5aa7d0f47f8b9a424f8cc9f5/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Environmental Benefits
• Per 2-lane km, micro-surfacing consumes only 8% of the energy, emits approximately 6% of the CO2, 15% of the NOX, and 20% of the SOX and costs 40-50% less when compared to a conventional mill and overlay treatment
• Since the implementation of micro-surfacing contracts, assuming a 7 year life for micro-surfacing and a 10 year life for conventional mill and overlay, MTO has reduced annualized GHG emissions by:
– 35,600 t of CO2
– 270 t of NOx
– 7,500 t of SO2
And saved 702,000 tonnes of aggregates

Economic Benefits
• Over the past 10 years, MTO has constructed
7,239,000 m2 of micro-surfacing. If MTO were
to have performed a traditional mill and overlay
instead of micro-surfacing over the past 10
years, $57,913,000 more would have been
spent based on initial construction costs.
• From a life cycle costing perspective, the 10
year annualized cost associated with using mill
and overlay would be $36,196,000 more than
the cost of micro-surfacing.

Sustainable Pavements in Canada
• MTO currently uses numerous innovative pavement preservation technologies that conserve aggregates, reduce GHG emissions, and minimize energy consumption
• A key MTO sustainability strategy is to implement these technologies on a larger scale and encourage their use province wide.
• These technologies support a “zero waste” approach and will assist in meeting our GHG reduction commitments while addressing the triple-bottom-line (SEE).

What's next? • Current Life Cycle Costing (LCC) includes:
• Initial, and discounted main/rehab costs and remaining life costs
• User costs
• We now have the tools to calculate GHG emissions and energy savings – PaLATE software
• MTO has developed a rating system to quantify and encourage pavement sustainability
• We are moving towards including an environmental component into LCC (Environmental benefits/credits).
• Insures that the best treatment is selected to benefit economic, social and environmental needs
- a Sustainable Approach.

What is it? • A simple points based rating system designed
to assess the “greenness” of pavements.
Our Goal: • To provide an assessment of the sustainability
of pavement designs and pavement
construction for the purpose of promoting
greener pavements.

Conclusions
• Pavement preservation solutions satisfy the definition of sustainable pavements:
– Pavement preservation programs begin with the concept that the treatments are proactive and they are applied when the pavement is still in relatively good condition
– Thinner, faster, less disruptive, less contract administration, less GHG emissions and less energy consumption
– With coordinated pavement preservation/rehabilitation programs the value of the road network will increase

Conclusions
• There is an increased focus on sustainable asset preservation, both at the state/provincial and municipal levels
• Pavement preservation and rehabilitation treatments applied at the right time can significantly extend pavement life and result in improved network performance over time
• Implementation of sustainable AM principles and performance measures are critical to addressing infrastructure investment requirements and environmental stewardship over the long-term
