Pictures to share

Every year the township rents a reclaimer for a month or so to fix up the paved secondary roads around here. When they chew up the roads the add bitumen from a tanker.

Thanks for the Pic's Graderman. I used to work for Miller back in the Mid 90's in Toronto. I also worked for them in Atlanta. They used to send machines to Atlanta from Canada all the the time and they all came from different divisions.

In New Brunswick they are called "New Brunswick Industrial Cold Planing" in Quebec its "Talon Seqbec" or something, I mighta spelled that wrong. Miller are the biggest Road construction outfit in Canada last I heard.

Yes, they are a large company I believe. I know they go right out staight. They aren't afraid to work either, and they do a great job. I'm going back down there tomorrow to help the grader operator out so maybe I'll get a few more pictures.

Now my youth and ignorance is really showing. What is it like to drive on a recycled/reclaimed/milled piece of road? I have seen a few of those big wirtgen reclaimers/recyclers here, and the idea seems good, but I can't be sure 'coz i've never seen the finished version of a remilled road(recycled material mixed with asphalt) I would probably try that, but i have no idea how nicely it finishes. I saw a segment about a wirtgen recycler once on TV, and they were finishing with single drum soil compactors, (smooth drums), tandems and then peumatic rollers.

I also saw an article about green road building compared to the traditional methods, and somewhere they said that the recycling method saves around R9.69 per ton on a recycled road base. The numbers get bigger the more you recycle the road.

One of the roads near me was recycled a few years ago. They ground up all the asphalt to a base like material and compacted it. It was left for about 2 weeks, at that stage it was like driving on a gravel road. After the 2 weeks, they came through and put down binder followed by oil and stone top. Today it's like driving on any other paved road. I'm in a rural area where we have no manholes nor curbs, just the occasional culvert crossing under the pavement.

 

[Grader4me]

As Steve said, after it's leveled out, shaped and compacted it's the same as driving on a gravel road. It makes a good road after it's been chipsealed. If left to long before sealing it bonds together and becomes like pavement again. Then it becomes hard to grade.
We have hauled this reclaim to gravel roads to see how it would work. Once leveled it made a beautiful road but after a few weeks it turned back to pavement again. Places in the road that didn't bond, separated and became potholes, so we ended up with a not so perfect road.
We have hauled crushed rock over top of this and Chipsealed. We have also just Chipsealed over the reclaim and that has worked good to.

I also was a sweeping contractor behind a grinding crew last year. I got to keep the millings. I now use them to fill potholes then use a infrared heater to reheat the patch, then roll it. no seam to fail and a patch that is part of the original material.

Just finished a patch in the middle of our airport runway.
The state here also uses the grindings as a sub base (6" thick) then chip seals. This seems to hold well. Only thing is if it does pothole the edges are sharper and the hole is deeper.
