What Is Full-Depth Reclamation?
Full-depth reclamation involves pulverizing the existing asphalt surface and underlying base materials into a homogenous layer. That layer is then stabilized with cement and water, compacted, and graded to form a durable new base for fresh pavement.
Instead of removing and hauling away old material, we repurpose what’s already in place — saving time, resources, and money.
The Full-Depth Reclamation Process:
- Pulverize – Asphalt and base materials are ground into a uniform blend
- Stabilize – Cement and water are mixed into the material for strength
- Grade & Compact – The new base is shaped, leveled, and compacted
- Pave – A new asphalt surface is installed on the reclaimed foundation
