2. Cold In Place Recycling Tight budget Many streets in need of repair Identified major and local streets that were candidates for CIR

3. Can We Use CIR? No utility work needed under the street Evaluate type of distress that needs to be addressed Quality of the material to be recycled At least 3 inches of asphalt

4. Background Information Needed Details of pavement that was originally constructed Thickness of as-built layers Pavement cores

5. Construction Sequence Remove castings Recycle pavement Adjust structures Place overlay

6. Charlotte’s Project 1.2 miles of 3 ½-4” CIR (18,000 SY) Single train Engineered asphalt emulsion ¾” ultra-thin overlay Mikesell Street Hall, Washington, McClure Streets

7. Mikesell Street Spartan Motors main shipping entrance- dead end street Public school bus yard Schedule coordination to minimize construction impact

8. Mikesell Street Last paving 1977 3” HMA over aggregate base 3” HMA + ½” base reclamation CIR = 3.8% engineered emulsion + RAP Ultra thin overlay
