Cold In Place Recycling (CIR) is a cost-effective pavement rehabilitation method that significantly reduces expenses compared to mill and fill while delivering exceptional results.
By recycling the existing asphalt directly on-site, CIR eliminates the need for new materials and extensive hauling, cutting costs by up to 50% compared to traditional methods. CIR rejuvenates aged and distressed pavements, restoring their structural integrity and extending their lifespan. The process results in a seamless, high-quality surface that enhances ride quality and durability. CIR addresses deep-seated issues, providing a robust solution that withstands heavy traffic and environmental stresses. With its ability to deliver a smooth, resilient pavement quickly and efficiently, CIR ensures long-term performance and reliability, making it the ideal choice for sustainable and effective road maintenance.

ADvantages:
- 20%–50% less expensive than conventional maintenance and reconstruction methods
- Reduces greenhouse emissions by up to 90%
- Reuses 100% of existing materials
- 20%–40% faster construction times
- Adds 15–20 years (combined with appropriate wearing course)
Issues Addressed
- Frequent, severe, non-load distresses in top lift of hot mix
- All distresses within the recycling depth (2-5 inches)
- Reflective cracking from below CIR layer
Attributes
- Eliminates defects within the recycling depth
- Blocks or slows reflective cracking
- Reuses existing material in place
- Replaces 1 or 2 lifts of hot mix
- Allows for road widening where desired
Common Combinations
- CIR + hot mix overlay (most common)
- CIR + Single or Double Chip Seal for low volume roads
- CIR + Micro or Slurry Surfacing for low volume roads
- CIR + CCPR to increase treatment depth

Applications
Western Asphalt Products have a variety of applications
Seal Coats are treatments that provide effective pavement maintenance to all structurally sound roadways.
CA-90 is a specially formulated cold pour rubberized crack filler.
Microsurfacing is a thin cold-mix overlay used in the repair and preventative maintenance of roadways.
Cold In Place (CIP) Recycling was a new technology introduced in the early 1990’s in Ontario.
Fog sealing is generally a light application of spray applied slow set emulsion.
Tack Coat is a spray applied emulsion which provides a thin adhesive film of asphalt between existing road pavement and a new surfacing layer.
Dense-graded cold mixed asphalt can be an economical alternative to traditionally hot mixed asphalt, especially in areas where there is a long distance to the nearest hot mix plant.
Specialized Cutback Asphalt and Asphalt Emulsions can be used to create a concrete foundation water proofing.
Applying driveway sealer to an asphalt driveway will improve both aesthetics and lifespan of your asphalt driveway.
