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.
