 Recycled Road base outperforms virgin materials

  "The City of Canning used sub-base (lower grade) and base course (higher grade) made from recycled concrete to upgrade Welshpool Road in Welshpool. The City of Canning used alternative test methods to those in the Main Roads WA 501 Specification to test the pavement materials. It was reported that the recycled concrete road base materials out performed road base made from virgin materials. produced recycled concrete can perform as an alternative base course to base course made from virgin quarry materials. The Main Roads WA and the Southern Gateway Alliance have approved the use of recycled concrete base course in a section of trial pavements proposed for the new Perth Bunbury Highway. A primary outcome from the project is in relation to the Perth Bunbury Highway test pavement with the Main Roads WA providing a specific amendment to its 501 Specification to accommodate locally made recycled concrete base course on the Perth Bunbury Highway without compromising the overall performance of the road pavement."
