Geotechnical Services - Cold In-Place Recycling (CIR)
Stahl Sheaffer's geotechnical services include Cold In-Place Recycling (CIR) asphalt mix designs. The CIR process is not new; it’s been around since the early 1980’s. However, with today’s economy and ever-increasing environmental awareness, CIR has seen a resurgence. Due to the benefits, the process of recycling or rejuvenating, existing pavement will only continue to grow as a viable option to the current practice of milling and paving.
Lower Cost
- CIR projects typically cost 30-50% less than traditional reconstruction.
Faster Reconstruction
- Road projects can be completed in days vs the weeks required by conventional methods.
Environmental Conservation
- Eliminating heat conserves resources. Re-use of existing pavement materials eliminates waste.
Fewer Traffic Issues
- Roadway typically remains open with minimal disturbance to local residents, commuters, and businesses.
Proven Results
- Reduces or eliminates reflective cracking resulting in a smoother pavement surface with a lifespan comparable to traditional reconstruction.
