FDR is a sustainable road repair method that involves pulverizing the entire existing pavement, including the asphalt layers and base material, into a uniform mixture. Stabilizing agents like cement, lime, or bitumen are added to improve the strength of the recycled material, which then serves as the base for a new asphalt layer. FDR offers numerous benefits, including cost-effectiveness, environmental friendliness, and increased pavement lifespan.
Full Depth Recycling (FDR) is significantly faster than traditional road repair methods due to its in-place process. Unlike conventional techniques that involve removing old asphalt, FDR recycles the existing material, eliminating time-consuming excavation and transportation. This streamlined approach, combined with the simultaneous pulverization and stabilization of the pavement, accelerates the construction process and reduces overall project duration.
Full Depth Recycling (FDR) is significantly more cost-effective than traditional road repair methods due to its efficient use of existing materials. By recycling the old asphalt layer instead of removing and disposing of it, FDR eliminates the expense of new aggregate and transportation. Additionally, the reduced equipment and labor requirements for FDR contribute to lower overall project costs, making it a budget-friendly option for road rehabilitation.
By reusing the existing asphalt material instead of discarding it in landfills, FDR reduces waste and conserves natural resources. Additionally, the process requires less energy and produces fewer emissions than conventional methods, contributing to a smaller carbon footprint and a healthier environment.
By incorporating additives like cement, lime, or bitumen emulsion into the recycled pavement, FDR creates a denser, more robust structure. This enhanced base layer provides superior support for the new asphalt surface, improving its load-bearing capacity and resistance to cracking, deformation, and water infiltration. Consequently, roads treated with FDR experience extended service life and reduced maintenance requirements.
