Full-Depth Reclamation (FDR)
Full-depth reclamation (FDR) rebuilds worn out asphalt pavements by recycling the existing roadway. The old asphalt and base materials are pulverized, mixed with cement and water, and compacted to produce a strong, durable base for either an asphalt or concrete surface.
Full-Depth Reclamation (FDR) Overview
High modulus of elasticity (MOE) mixes allow greater flexibility in design, which enables contractors and architects to build taller buildings on smaller footprints. This is possible because higher MOE means stiffer concrete. Stiff concrete reduces the sway potential of a building. In addition, high MOE mixes allow for thinner columns—ultimately increasing the square footage available for development.
