Group 31555 Liquid Bituminous Materials (2023 VPP NYSDOT Specific Projects - 2nd Letting)

Cold Recycling of bituminous concrete pavements is a corrective maintenance technique. The existing pavement is milled off for a depth of 3 to 4 inches (75mm to 100mm), a liquid bituminous material is added to the millings, and the resulting mixture is placed and compacted on the milled surface. A new bituminous concrete sealing layer is added later. Existing cracks are eliminated, and the resulting pavement should last for many years. Heater Scarification is a continuous multi-step process in which the existing hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavement surface is recycled using specialized equipment. The HMA pavement surface is heated causing the asphalt to soften. The softened asphalt surface is then immediately scarified and milled to a specified depth. The reclaimed asphalt pavement is then mixed with a recycling agent that rejuvenates the asphalt. The recycled mix is then placed and compacted back onto the roadway. A new bituminous concrete sealing layer is added later. Existing cracks are eliminated, and the resulting pavement should provide a longer life.
