This is a picture of the equipment in action, notice the absence of emissions from the forward stacks.

There are several different types of hot in-place asphalt recycling.  We feel our system, which closely resembles a "2 inch mill and fill" operation, offers the highest quality of finished roadway.

    Our system consists of five basic steps:

1. Preheating of the asphalt surface that is to be recycled

2. Re-heating and milling of approximately 1 inch and placing it in a windrow

3. Re-heating and milling of approximately 1 more inch, picking up the previous windrow and combining it with the windrow produced with the second heating and milling operation.  (Additional virgin mix and/or rejuvenate agents may be added during this process.)

4. Picking up the combined windrow and "running it through" a heated twin-shaft pugmill.

5. Placing the recycled asphalt into a lay down machine with automatic grade controls, and thereafter a standard paving operation, i.e. rolling, etc...

    We feel the multi step process produces a smoother road and obviously a better blending and heat environment of the mix.

    In the past year, we have completed projects in New Mexico on US64, Interstate 25, & NM 518; and in Colorado on US 50, west of Pueblo.
