Geotechnical Services - Cold In-Place Recycling (CIR)

Stahl Sheaffer's  geotechnical services include Cold In-Place Recycling (CIR) asphalt mix designs. The CIR process is not new; it’s been around since the early 1980’s. However, with today’s economy and ever-increasing environmental awareness, CIR has seen a resurgence. Due to the benefits, the process of recycling or rejuvenating, existing pavement will only continue to grow as a viable option to the current practice of milling and paving.

Lower Cost

  • CIR projects typically cost 30-50% less than traditional reconstruction.

Faster Reconstruction

  • Road projects can be completed in days vs the weeks required by conventional methods.

Environmental Conservation

  • Eliminating heat conserves resources. Re-use of existing pavement materials eliminates waste.

Fewer Traffic Issues

  • Roadway typically remains open with minimal disturbance to local residents, commuters, and businesses.

Proven Results

  • Reduces or eliminates reflective cracking resulting in a smoother pavement surface with a lifespan comparable to traditional reconstruction.
