Asphalt Pulverization and Soil Stabilization:
Asphalt Pulverization:
"Asphalt Pulverization Recycling" is a discipline of "Full Depth Reclamation"- is a process that allows you to recycle an existing asphalt section along with a portion of the base material. This newly pulverized recycled material is blended with a variable depth of the underlying base or native material to form a high quality aggregate base. This material can now be used as a new base either on-site or at a different location. Where frequent cracking, potholes, and patching are present, FDR is a very viable and longer lasting alternative to an overlay or cold planing. This process is cost-effective when compared to widespread full depth repairs or total reconstruction. Coughlin Company can price your job based upon the needs of your particular project.
Advantages of Pulverization:
- Recycles materials saving natural resources, time, and money
- Eliminates disposal costs of old materials Saves money by reducing the thickness of surface overlay
- Improves roadway load carrying capabilities Reprocesses deteriorated base and surface materials
- Maintains roadway grade and profile
- Extinguishes need for buying and hauling in new base
Soil Stabilization:
Soil Stabilization is the cost-effective long-term physical and chemical alteration of soils to enhance and strengthen their physical properties. Stabilization can improve R- values, sheer and unconfined compressive strengths, and permanently lower the soil??s permeability to water. Stabilization can be used to treat a wide range of less that desirable soils, from expansive clays to granular materials. This is all done in-place at your job site.
Advantages of Soil Stabilization:
- Reduced up front costs by up to 50%
- Provides future savings by increasing the life of the section
- Reduced maintenance costs
- Improved soil characteristics (R-Values, strengths, reduction in plasticity)
