Cold Central Plant Recycling Best Practices

As a general rule, to achieve the same structure, a hot mix lift can be replaced by a CCPR layer that is 15% to 25% thicker (eg. 1” hot mix ~1.25” CCPR)

A pavement design with appropriate traffic levels will tell you how thick the CCPR layer needs to be

To get the best bond, let the CCPR cure for 3-10 days after construction (and 24 hours after any rainstorm) before applying the tack coat and the final pavement surface

If a CCPR mix ravels excessively due to rain, the mat can be re-processed with or without adding cement to facilitate drying
