Project Execution
1. Step one was to return save ride to the areas affected by severe land movement
2. Where the Cement Treated Base would be utilized:
✔Removed 3” of AC from 1,350 lane feet & stockpile grindings on site
✔Pulverized & cement treated with 5% cement to a depth of 12”, graded and compacted
✔Moved AC grindings back into place, grade & roll
3. Recycled to a depth of 3” using Cold-In-Place Recycling Method
4. Fog sealed with a SS1h, lightly sanded & cured for 4 days

Project Execution – Reusing The Puzzle Pieces
Leveling ProcessAreas of land movement had to be returned to a smooth and safe condition
• Extensive milling of high areas
• 200 tons of hot mix asphalt used to fill low and depressed areas

Project Execution – Reusing The Puzzle Pieces
Cold-In-Place RecyclingEnvironmentally & Budget Friendly
• Cost-efficient labor & transportation
• Uses existing materials & no heat
• Using existing materials = no need to purchase or transport fresh aggregate
• No heat = reduced noxious fume emissions

Project Execution – Reusing The Puzzle Pieces
Cold-In-Place RecyclingType I Cold-In-Place Recycling Process
1. Reclaim top 3-4 inches using milling machine
2. Crush reclaimed material & screen for proper sizing
3. Add reclaimed material to paver
4. Pave into place
5. Compact with steel drum & rubber tire pneumatic rollers
This process is completed with a combination of machinery referred to as a “train”

Project Execution – Reusing The Puzzle Pieces
Cold-In-Place Recycling
Quality Control requires a field set rolling pattern
The pattern must be continually monitored for changes
Final re- roll will occur one to two days after placement, warm temperatures help obtain maximum densities

Project Execution – Icing On The Cake
Why Micro Surfacing?
• Improves skid resistance
• Extends service life by up to 7 years
• Quick-drying aspects shorten traffic delays–drivable after 1 hour
• Does not alter drainage/curb reveal
• Helps eliminate hydroplaning
• Cost-effective surfacing
• Rutting, shoving & cracking resistant
• Applied at ambient temperatures, which lowers energy requirements & eliminates pollutants

Project Execution – Icing On The Cake
Micro Surfacing
1. Begins as a mixture of dense-graded aggregate, asphalt emulsion, water & mineral fillers
2. Added capabilities from use of high-quality advanced polymers & other modern additives
3. Applied with special paver that carries all components , mixes them on-site & spreads to roadway
4. Mixture is continuously fed into a full-width spreader box
5. Spreads the width of a traffic lane in one pass
Surface is initially dark brown, but finishes black once water is chemically ejected & the surface cures

Project Results
• Existing asphalt reclaimed & repurposed
• Water & air permeability lowered
• Even driving surface with good traction created
• BUDGET STATEMENT TO BE ADDED
