Hot In-Place Recycling (HIR), is an on-site, in-place method that rehabilitates asphalt pavements, minimizing the use of new materials while extending the life of the asphalt. This process consists generally of four steps:
- Softening of the asphalt pavement surface with heat;
- Scraping and/or mechanical removal of the surface material;
- Mixing of the material with recycling agent, asphalt binder, or new mix; and,
- Placement of the recycled mix on the pavement surface.
Work will take place during daytime hours, Monday to Saturday.
