Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) is a process that recycles existing asphalt and the underlying base materials using a machine known as a reclaimer. With FDR, the pavement is pulverized and mixed with the existing base creating a uniform blend of aggregate.
Using state of the art spreader trucks, specific rates of stabilizing agents such as fly ash or Portland Cement are applied and then mixed into the pulverized blend. Compaction, shaping and smooth rolling complete the process resulting in a strong, stabilized base, which is now ready for asphalt, concrete or chip and seal surfacing.
