Invest in a Long Term Solution, Not a Quick-Fix

When you recycle your roads, you’re improving the durability and resilience of your infrastructure.

COST-EFFECTIVE

As costs rise rapidly, Hot In –Place recycling allows you to achieve greater road rehabilitation while staying within your budget. Maximize the value of your existing materials for optimal and budget friendly results, ensuring a high-quality outcome of your roadway.

Extended Road Life

Hot In-Place provides opportunity. Using the same budgeted dollars as usual. Hot In-Place can extend your road’s life while allowing you the freedom to perform appropriate Asset Management on other areas of the community. When we are complete, your roads will live for the same lifespan as normal roadway fixes, but you have more money in your budget to manage other assets.

Time-saving

We complete a lane-mile a day with no road closures. Flaggers direct traffic around our operation so the road is never closed. Once we come onsite, we do not leave until the job is complete.

REDUCES CONGESTION

The HIR process reduces the number of trucks needed compared to a “traditional” mill & overlay process. Reducing up to 80% of trucks on a project decreases traffic congestion for motoring public, cuts down public complaints, and mitigates scheduling conflicts by reducing the number of steps to get your project completed.

SUSTAINABILITY

HIR reduces the carbon footprint by 28% by having fewer trucks on the road hauling materials, and less new material production.
