The Green Build At San Diego International Airport

On the northeast edge of San Diego International Airport, years of heavy truck and air cargo deliveries had taken their toll on the West Washington Street roadway. So as part of the Green Build project, the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority hired a soild engineering consultant to analyze the weakened roadbed. That firm, Kleinfelder Inc., performed a pavement evaluation to determine a pavement rehabilitation strategy that would meet the long-term performance requirements of the roadway, while considering the project budget and logistics.

"Natural preservation: Los Angeles County uses cold in-place recycling to repair national forest highway

All roads lead to somewhere—even if they appear to be in the middle of nowhere. Such is the case with the Angeles Forest Highway, which winds 25 miles through the Angeles National Forest north of Los Angeles. Mountainous and forested, the region is a popular spot for motorcycles, sports cars and other sports enthusiasts.

"Micro Milling": The Finer Side of Milling meets
Pavement Preservation

Micro milling is providing an innovative way for contractors and agencies to rehabilitate asphalt pavements. Micro-milling uses a milling drum with more teeth and a tighter lacing pattern to create a smoother surface than the traditional milling process. This smoother surface can be opened to traffic with no further treatment. Micro-milling also provides a better bonding surface for overlays and more recently, thin surface treatments for Pavement Preservation such as Micro Surface, RAP Slurries, Chip and Cape Seals. Now you can get the improved profile, ride ability and the economic benefit of a low cost surface.

City of Palm Desert Utilizes Cold Central Plant Asphalt Recycling on Citywide Resurfacing

Traditionally, the City of Palm Desert has repaired failing sections of asphalt pavement with localized repairs and a thin 1.5" – 2" hot mix overlay. On some streets the City used paving fabric. Although this method kept roads drivable and costs at bay for a period of time, it became apparent that the 30 to 40 year old street sections were deteriorating faster, while the cost of hot mix overlay had increased to approximately $2.50/sq. ft.

Chula Vista's First Full Depth Reclamation Project Provides Positive Results, and Convinces Skeptics Wary of Trying New Process

Recently the City of Chula Vista specified Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) for their 2nd Ave. street reconstruction project. This was the city’s first time in implementing one of the cost effective, non-proprietary recycling processes for asphalt pavements. Jose Gomez the engineer in charge of paving for the city, did his homework on the process, and with the result of good planning, communication and coordination, provided the city with a street reconstruction that provided the following benefits:....

Passing an Audition: Beverly Hills welcomes CIR following a successful job

Hollywood will forever be Beverly Hills' claim to fame, but cold in-place recycling (CIR) has quickly developed a fan base in the affluent southern California city following a street-resurfacing project. The first attempt at CIR involved Canon Drive, Beverly Drive, Crescent Drive and Lomitas Avenue and saved the movie-star home base close to $1.5 million when compared to remove and replace - and money was almost an afterthought.
