Retread road recycling, uses bituminous emulsions to rejuvenate existing asphalt surfacing to a depth of 75-100mm with intermittent rolling to allow the passage of traffic. Where necessary, improvements to the material grading can be improved by the addition of aggregate. The surface is then harrowed and graded to form the new road profile. Carriageway Retread Emulsion is applied and harrowing is completed ensuring maximum distribution and penetration of the emulsion. After rolling, a second application of binder is followed by 14mm chippings to the surface. The last stage in the process is a coat of emulsion and 6mm chippings.
Retread road recycling has many benefits: - - Reshapes deformed surfaces
| - Environmentally responsible process
| | - Eliminates dumping of spoil
| | - All existing bituminous materials used
| - Effective sealing to prevent water ingress
| | | - Minimizes haulage movements
