The Department has recently identified several low to medium traffic volume highways that are in need of pavement rehabilitation. It has been determined that full depth reclamation of asphalt concrete pavements is a more cost effective means to rehabilitate these TYPE_s of low to medium traffic volume roads, proportionally increasing service life when compared to full depth reconstruction. The full depth reclamation process also conserves natural resources by recycling existing materials. The conservation of natural resources is compounded when you consider the conservation of additional natural resources ( natural gas, petroleum products, etc.) necessary to produce, deliver and use new materials required in full depth reconstruction.
