Full Depth Reclamation

A Greener Way to Replace Asphalt

Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) is cost-effective, long-lasting, greener alternative to full-depth removal and replacement techniques. It is an engineered rehabilitation technique in which the full thickness of the asphalt pavement and a predetermined portion of the underlying materials (sub-base and/or sub-grade) is uniformly pulverized and blended to provide an upgraded homogeneous material.

The reclaimed materials may be improved and strengthened by using mechanical, chemical or bituminous admixtures. FDR isn’t only for roads in poor condition, but it is also a viable design process for increasing the structural capacity of a pavement in good condition.

Issues Addressed: All forms of cracking, reduced ride quality, loss of surface integrity, inadequate structural capacity and subgrade instability.

Full Depth Reclamation Benefits

Full Depth Reclamation has many benefits by eliminating existing surface distress, reducing impact underground and conserving non-renewable resources.

  • Up to 60% less expensive than other reconstruction techniques

  • Decreases importing and exporting of materials up to 70%

  • Reuses up to 100% of existing pavement materials

  • Adds decades more of pavement life extension

  • Eliminates existing pavement surface distresses

  • Reduces community impacts and traffic disruptions

  • Increases structural integrity and capacity

  • Reduces impact on underground utilities and structures

  • Restores surface profile
