Benefits of cold in -place recycled asphalt
Rehabilitation of Taxiways A and B, St. Lucie County International Airport
When the time comes to rehabilitate an existing
stretch of asphalt pavement, traditionally, options
have been limited to a mill and overlay or a full -
depth reconstruction. Conventional mill and
overlay techniques typically involve the removal and
replacement of existing bituminous material with new
bituminous material brought from another location.
While this method has proven to be effective and
much cheaper than doing a full depth pavement
reconstruction, recent efforts have been made to
develop more cost effective and environmentally
friendly methods of rehabilitation. One such alternative
is cold in -place recycling (CIR). The recycling and reuse
of existing bituminous material is a simple and effective
tool for maintaining and upgrading existing pavement.
The CIR process involves the variable depth milling of
existing asphalt material; the blending of this material
with a new binder and/or additional virgin aggregate;
and the placement and compaction of this new
bituminous course to the desired grade, slope, and
profile. This entire process is accomplished with a single
pass equipment train, thus offering several benefits over
the more traditional method of milling and overlaying.
The full range of benefits of CIR are still being
discovered; however, people are already seeing many
of the benefits this process can offer. Benefits include
environmental, substantial cost savings, time savings,
and an overall greater level of public acceptance,
among others. Many of these benefits can be found in
the Rehabilitation of Taxiways A and B project at the St.
Lucie County International Airport (SLCIA) in Ft, Pierce,
Florida, even though it is still in the construction phase.
This project is one of the first to utilize CIR on airfield
pavement.
Environmental benefits
CIR is an environmentally friendly pavement
rehabilitation process performed without the use of
heat. Because it is a cold process, very little pollution is
created. Unlike with conventional hot mix asphalt, there
is no heat applied to the asphalt during the CIR process.
This absence of heat reduces the production of noxious
fumes. CIR also reduces the amount of greenhouse
gas emissions that are produced. This is a result of
the process not only being cleaner, but also from the
reduction in hauling of milled and new asphalt material.
The project at SLCIA involves the reconstruction
of approximately 60,000 square yards of existing
asphalt pavement. Using the conventional mill and
overlay method, it would take approximately 300 to
350 truck loads to haul milled material offsite and
approximately the same amount of truck loads to
bring new bituminous material back onto the site.
However, by using the CIR method, there has been a
reduction in the number of trucks needed for hauling
operations. Also, by being able to reuse many of the
materials already on site, there is no longer a need
to remove large quantities of materials, only to be
replaced by newer, off -site materials. As a result, close
to 90 to 95 percent of the existing asphalt that is being
rehabilitated at SLCIA is able to be re -used as a 3-inch
asphalt base course. In addition, since materials will be
recycled, landfill space will not be taken up by recyclable
resources.
Cost savings
CIR also provides a great cost savings when compared
to conventional rehabilitation methods. For the
Rehabilitation of Taxiways A and B project, the CIR
portion of the project cost about 50 percent less
when compared to a conventional mill and overlay. In
total, it cost approximately $550,000 to perform the
CIR portion, which consisted of 4 inches of existing
pavement being recycled, emulsified, and re-laid as
a 3-inch base course. The excess material from this
process was able to be re -used on other portions of
the project that were being widened, thus creating less
waste.
In comparison, the approximate cost to mill 4 inches of
asphalt and re -lay 3 inches of hot mix asphalt would
have been approximately $1.1 million. On top of the
cost of materials and labor for placing the materials, the
use of CIR also produces a reduction in hauling costs. A
further cost savings is found without the need for the
operation of a hot mix asphalt plant, since a smaller
quantity of new asphalt will need to be produced.
Time savings
CIR has also proven to save time. As previously stated,
the Rehabilitation of Taxiways A and B project involves
approximately 60,000 square yards of pavement.
Typically, it takes one day to mill 8,000 square yards.
At this rate, it would take approximately eight days
to mill the designated pavement area. The milled area
would then need to be overlaid with approximately
10,000 tons of asphalt. At a typical rate of 700 tons of
asphalt per day, it would take approximately 15 days
The rehabilitation c

ATKINS
to place the new asphalt. This equates to a total of
23 days to perform a mill and overlay for this project.
However, with the use of CIR, which yields an average
construction rate of about 4,500 square yards per day,
the total time of the pavement rehabilitation is reduced
to 14 days. This is a time savings of nine days on the
construction schedule.
One large benefit that is a result of a reduced
construction schedule is less impact to operations.
CIR minimizes the time for which a segment needs to
be closed during construction. In some cases, CIR has
the potential to allow for segments to be re -opened
the same day in which the rehabilitation has been
performed. As a result, pavement that could have taken
weeks to rehabilitate using mill and overlay methods,
can now be recycled in just a few days.
Other benefits
Other benefits of CIR include the elimination and
retardation of reflective cracking. CIR is able to eliminate
this problem by pulverizing the existing asphalt
pavement surface, which in turn destroys the old crack
pattern found in the layer being recycled. Another
benefit of CIR is that when it is time to rehabilitate the
pavement again, the recycled pavement can be recycled
and re -used. In addition, since CIR is environmentally
friendly, it is widely supported by local governments and
communities. Despite the fact that CIR is still a fairly
new method of asphalt pavement rehabilitation, its
wide range of benefits are already being discovered and
enjoyed by not only clients and contractors, but also by
the millions of people that utilize the areas that were
rehabilitated by CIR.

CONTRACTING AND WORKFORCE
As you may be aware, since first taking office in January 2011, I have been in constant
communication with the United States Army Corps of Engineers regarding issues of beach
renourishment, dredging, permitting and reimbursements of funds for previous projects on behalf
of the ports, municipalities and counties located throughout South Florida.
As a newly elected Member of the House of Representatives, I was constantly frustrated at the
lack of progress we had been able to achieve in a timely manner from the Army Corps. Hopeful
that more could be done, I hosted a roundtable discussion with the Army Corps of Engineers and
local coastal community leaders on October 17, 2011. Recognizing that these issues would not
be resolved overnight, I have committed to holding this roundtable biannually.
As such, I would like to personally invite you to our second roundtable discussion I will be
hosting with leadership from the Jacksonville District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The roundtable discussion will be held at the Elinor Bernon Rosenthal Lifelong Learning
Complex at the MacArthur Campus of Florida Atlantic University (FAU) on Thursday May 24,
2012 at 2:30 pm. The Elinor Bernon Rosenthal Lifelong Learning Complex at FAU is located at
5353 Parkside Drive, Jupiter, FL 33458.
During the first part of the roundtable, the Army Corps of Engineers will provide a briefing on
all outstanding Corps -related issues that affect Broward, Palm Beach, Martin and St. Lucie
Counties, the cities and towns that are located within the counties, as well as those issues that
affect each of the Ports located within those counties.
The second half of the roundtable will provide an opportunity for each respective party to
address their four priority issues or concerns they are having with the Corps, and to have them
addressed by Army Corps leadership.
Recognizing the many projects and issues that this entails, the Army Corps will work off a set
agenda. To ensure that the Army Corps leadership is fully prepared to address each agenda item,
please have your respective staff contact our Congressional office to have your top two priorities
and top two concerns placed on the agenda.
PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER
a.
Furthermore, in the interest of time and space, I would greatly appreciate that you please limit
the number of representatives from your office to two people.
As your Representative in the United States Congress, I have a responsibility to ensure that the
Army Corps of Engineers is carrying out their mission to protect our beaches and maintain our
ports efficiently and thoroughly.
Should you have any additional questions, or to RSVP, and have your top two priorities added to
the agenda, please contact my Legislative Director, Josh Grodin, at Josh. Grodin@mail.house.gov
or 202-225-3026 no later than COB Wednesday May 16, 2012.
Once again, I want to thank you in advance for taking time out of your schedule to attend this
roundtable discussion with the Army Corps of Engineers.
Steadfast and Loyal,
