Enviro-Pave Inc. is a Delaware corporation with offices in Ohio and
Massachusetts. Our sister company HIR
Enviro-Pave Inc. of Toronto – designs and manufactures the equipment
we use in the hot-in-place recycling of bituminous concrete pavements.
Both companies are members of the Patterson
Industries Group of Companies. We are available to review your pavement management plan and assist you
in implementing hot-in-place asphalt recycling as a pavement restoration option.
A typical bituminous concrete pavement candidate exhibits the following: • Minimum asphalt pavement thickness of 3" • Minor cracking, rutting and shoving • 8– 12 years old • Pavement surface oxidized and polished • No base or sub-base structural failures • Only minor grade correction is required Our pavement evaluation requires testing of representative core samples,
a mix design recommendation based on the testing plus a cost analysis of the
project. Once job specifications
are determined, the HIR Enviro-Pave Inc. quality control program monitors adherence
to the specifications throughout the recycling process.
We welcome third party testing and engineering reviews to confirm
contract compliance. Please contact us to review hot-in-place asphalt recycling for the
restoration of your bituminous concrete pavements. HIR Enviro-Pave Inc. is honored to have you as a customer.

A qualified laboratory shall perform this design. Once materials are approved, no substitution will be permitted unless first tested by the laboratory preparing the mix design and job mix formula and approved by the Owner. No hot-in-place recycling shall take place until the Owner approves the mix design and job mix formula.
250-3.2 Mix Design. The laboratory shall develop the mix design and present test results for owner approval. Compatibility of the rejuvenating agent and/or liquid asphalt cement and the existing bituminous material shall be verified by the mix design.

250-7.2 Cleaning of Surface. Immediately prior to the hot-in-place recycling operation, the surface shall be cleaned of all loose material, silt spots, vegetation and other objectionable material. Any standard cleaning method will be accepted except water flushing will not be permitted. The use of a power broom or tractor drawn sweeper is recommended for cleaning the pavement surface.
250-8 Construction Details
250-8.1 Hot-In-Place Recycling. The heating and recycling machines shall heat and recycle the existing bituminous pavement completely across the entire width to a maximum depth of two (2) inches.
Each successive pass shall overlap the previously scarified adjacent surface by a minimum of three (3) inches, with the heaters overlapping an additional minimum of three (3) inches beyond the section that is recycled. When field-testing indicates that the required depth of heating and scarifying has not been obtained, the process shall be stopped and immediately modified to ensure compliance with the specification.
Immediately following the heating and scarifying process the rejuvenating agent
and/or liquid
The hot-in-place recycled material and the milling heads shall then mix added materials and blending unit until a homogenous mixture is achieved. The homogenous mixture shall be formed into a slightly compacted windrow to reduce material segregation and heat loss. The slightly compacted windrow of hot-in-place recycled material shall be distributed evenly across the screed assembly by augers and a windrow divider assembly. Excess windrow material shall be stored in the scalping/storage unit and discharged manually or automatically into the appropriate auger assembly, ensuring a constant head of asphalt in front of the screed assembly.
The hot-in-place recycled mix shall then be struck off evenly with the heated vibratory screed. The hot-in-place recycled mix shall be at a minimum temperature of 220o F immediately after screeding and prior to initial rolling. If the temperature of the mix immediately behind the screed falls below 220o F paving shall be stopped and modified to ensure compliance with the specifications.
250-9 Protection of Existing Improvements
250-9.1 Since high temperatures are required in the hot-in-place recycling operation, the contractor shall exercise care against possible injury or damage to existing improvements. Existing improvements damaged by the contractor shall be repaired or replaced to the satisfaction of the Owner at no cost to the Owner.
250-10 Compaction
250-10.1 Compaction of Mixture. After placing, the mixture shall be thoroughly and uniformly compacted by rolling. The surface shall be compacted as soon as possible when the mixture has obtained sufficient stability so that the rolling does not cause undue displacement, cracking or shoving. The sequence of rolling operations and the type of rollers used shall be at the discretion of the contractor. A nuclear gauge will be required to monitor pavement density during compaction.
The speed of the roller at all times shall be sufficiently slow to avoid
displacement of the Sufficient rollers shall be furnished to handle the output of the recycling machines. Rolling shall continue until the surface is of uniform texture, true to grade and cross section, and the required density is obtained. To prevent adhesion of the mixture to the roller, the wheels shall be kept properly moistened (and scrapers used), but excessive water will not be permitted.
In areas not accessible to the roller, the mixture shall be thoroughly compacted with hand tampers.
Any recycled mix that becomes loose or broken, mixed with dirt, contains checking, cracking or in any way defective shall be removed and replaced with fresh recycled mix and immediately compacted to conform to the surrounding area.
250-11 Contractor Quality Control
250-11.1 General. The contractor shall develop a Quality Control Plan and submit to the Owner for approval not less than five (5) business days before any hot-in-place recycling work starts. The plan shall address the elements which effect the quality of the hot-in-place recycling including:
a. Recycled Mix Design b. Recycled Mix Depth c. Aggregate Yield d. Recovered Penetration of Recycled Asphalt Cement e. Recycled Mix Temperature f. In-Place Density determined by Nuclear Gage
250-11.2 Quality Control Testing. The contractor shall perform all quality control tests necessary to control the hot-in-place recycling in accordance with the specification and as set forth in the Quality Control Plan. The testing program shall include but not limited to, test for control of mix design, depth, yield, temperature and field compaction. A quality control testing plan shall be developed as part of the Quality Control Plan.
a. Recycled Mix Design – A minimum of two (2) random samples shall be taken from the screed auger chamber each work day and tested for mix design verification.
b. Recycled Mix Depth – A minimum of four (4) tests will be required for the first 2000 square yards after each start up of the hot-in-place recycling equipment. A minimum of two (2) tests shall be done for each 5000 square yards or portion of thereafter.
c. Aggregate Yield – A minimum of two (2) tests will be required for each 10,000 square yards.
d. Recovered Penetration – One (1) test will be required for each 10,000 square yards.
e. Air Voids – One (1) test will be required for each 10,000 square yards.
f. Mix Temperature – Temperatures shall be checked at least four (4) times for each 10,000 square yards.
g. In-Place Density Monitoring – The contractor shall conduct all necessary testing to ensure that the specified density is being achieved. A nuclear gauge will be required to monitor the pavement density in accordance with ASTM D 2950.
h. Additional Testing – Any additional testing the contractor deems necessary to control the process may be performed at the contractor’s option and expense.
