Summary
Comparison of the environmental benefits of CIR with a thin HMA overlay to mill and overlay for 9 resurfacing projects in Wisconsin. Results showed average environmental savings of 23% in energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions, 20% reduction in water consumption and reduced virgin aggregate consumption of 37% when using CIR with a thin HMA overlay instead of a comparable mill and overlay.
