The contract called for 21aa fill for the roadway subbase. As a direct result of the volume required (approx. 500,000 cuyds) alternative sources were researched. It was determined that numerous major roadway construction projects were being performed in the local area. Subsequently, a large volume of highway concrete debris was available. We established an on site concrete crusher and used crushed concrete ground to the 21aa size specifications (after
approval). |
|
|
Based on timing and location, the amount of 21aa fill would have been extremely difficult to transport from remote
quarries and meet schedule requirements. |
|
|
Saved schedule and funding and also had a significant enviromental savings by recycling concrete. |

Check local area to determine if any recycled materials can be utilized in lieu of bank run materials from quarry. |
