Reclaiming Resources through Cold in Place Recycling

Over the years, asphalt has become the most popular choice when it comes to selecting environmentally friendly pavements.

This technique used helps treat raveling, potholes, skid resistance, rutting, block cracking, and so much more.  

Cold recycling includes two subcategories, cold in place recycling (CIR) and cold central plant recycling (CCPR). In this article we will highlight a successful CIR project in Jefferson County, Indiana.
