FDR (FULL DEPTH RECLAMATION)
Full depth reclamation is a process that rebuilds pavement by recycling the existing roadway materials. Old pavement and base materials are mixed with a stabilizing additive and hydrated to create an improved base layer ready for paving.  If performed properly the FDR process provides a design life-cycle of 30+ years. FDR provides a superior pavement service life compared with overlay or mill and fill, and provides a service life comparable to, or greater than, total reconstruction (removal and replacement of old roadway materials) without the cost in time and materials.

SAVE TIME & MONEY

Utilizing on site materials allows for a significant reduction in cost of construction, eliminating the cost of unsuitable soil removal, trucking, and any landfill fees for material disposal, as well as the cost in time and material for placement of new materials.

INCREASE PAVEMENT STRENGTH & LONGEVITY

FDR results in an improvement in the gradation of reclaimed material as well as a significant increase in shear and compressive strength. FDR can also reduce plasticity and bring down swelling potential of the stabilized base, resisting the effects of freeze/thaw cycle.

LIMIT TRAFFIC DISRUPTION

Since there is no need to haul in new materials or haul out old materials for disposal, the vehicle movements are reduced. There is no need for detours since it can be done under traffic, making this process more convenient for local residents.
