Structural Integrity for the Long Haul
When roadway engineers have severely distressed or destroyed roads, partnering with a (FDR) Full Depth Reclamation contractor is a popular solution to restore structural integrity at a fraction of the price, in a fraction of the time. Combine cost savings with eco-friendly methods and faster construction times, and it’s no surprise FDR is changing the way we rebuild roads, including hybrid engineering.
- Reuses 100% of your existing road in-place.
- Eliminates deep pavement crack patterns.
- Restore structural integrity of pavement.
- Preventatively address moisture issues
Rock Solid Stabilization & Reclamation, Inc. is one of the most experienced full depth reclamation contractors for asphalt pavement in the country. We’ve helped clients experience the benefits of the full depth reclamation process nationwide. By pulverizing the existing pavement and reusing it in-place, we create a strong, solid foundation for the new road.
We use only the most effective and advanced additives and methods to achieve the best overall results for contractors. Our expertise and capabilities, when it comes to FDR for asphalt surfaces, enable these companies to keep materials out of landfills and build stronger roads. It’s no wonder we’re called upon time and again to leverage our knowledge for projects of all shapes and sizes.

How Full Depth Reclamation for Asphalt
Reusing Material, Restoring Roads
Pulverize
Pulverize existing asphalt pavement and convert it into a usable base.
Stabilize
Stabilize base using additives to increase strength and durability
Shape
Shape and compact the material, creating a smooth, stable surface.
Apply
Apply a wearing course for added protection and stability.
By using cold processes, reusing materials, working on-site, and reducing trucks, FDR for pavement can decrease greenhouse gas emissions and conserve energy.
Rebuilt to Last
Problematic bases, mill and fills and overlays don’t address the underlying problem – they simply address the appearance, sealing in cracks and moisture. This means cracks in the HMA or underlying material will likely reflect through, forcing roadway owners to continually re-address the same problem. FDR doesn’t just cover the problem, it eliminates the main cause of surface failures.
Types of Full Depth Reclamation Services
There are a few different techniques typically used on FDR projects. The most common of these are:
- Mechanical, which involves adding aggregate materials
- Bituminous, which is the addition of emulsions based on asphalt
- Chemical, utilizing fly ash, lime or cement
Reinforced Strength
Full depth reclamation for deteriorating aggregate or asphalt roads distributes load pressures over a greater surface area, allowing for better bridging over the subgrade. This means high traffic roads are better able maintain their structural integrity and hold strong for the long haul.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should full depth pavement reclamation be used?
Generally, it is recommended whenever there is extensive cracking or other damage below the distressed pavement layer. This is because FDR services are more cost-efficient and last longer than a simple overlay.
How long does the road need before traffic can be allowed on it again?
This depends on the situation and can be determined during the consultation and proposal processes. We will work with you to develop a plan that will minimize the impact your project will have on the flow of traffic through the area.
How long is the lifespan of recycled pavement using this technique?
For roads and highways, full depth recycling has a lot to do with the amount of traffic, the thickness of the old asphalt pavement, local climate and weather patterns, and the condition of the subgrade already in place. However, asphalt pavements that undergo this process have been found to last between 15 and 25 years with proper maintenance and repair work as needed.
