Reclaimed concrete is generated during the
reconstruction of roads, sidewalks, runways or
demolition of buildings and other concrete
elements. This material is then processed by
crushing, and the removal of reinforced steel
and screening. Recycled materials are typically
processed and stockpiled as 19mm and 50mm
crushed materials and are used as an alternate
to pit run or quarried granular materials. No
special equipment or procedures are required for
the handling of these materials.Uses:
Over the years, the recycled crushed
concrete and asphalt aggregates have been used
for a variety of granular applications. Some
typical applications are listed below:
- 50 mm
recycled aggregate as granular sub base for
pavements
- 19 mm
recycled aggregate as granular base for
pavements
- trench
backfill material
- engineered
fill
- stabilized
soil base
- waste
processing at demolition sites
- pavement
shoulders (use of up to 100% crushed asphalt
allowed by MTO)
- bicycle
paths and parking lots (100% crushed asphalt
used as base material)
