What they are doing to be more “green”
The Engineering and Construction Division is being “green” by recycling asphalt in its mixes. In 2004, Engineering and Construction incorporated a change in the annual resurfacing contract, as and contracts awarded after enactment that allowed use of up to 30-percent recycled asphalt product (RAP) in asphalt production. RAP is a readily available commodity in this area and is composed of the milled surface of old roads that are being resurfaced. RAP is treated with a rejuvenating solution when it is introduced into virgin mixes, and the overall quality of the end product does not suffer. This adjustment, over the last four years, has resulted in substantial savings over older, virgin mixes. This saves green by being “green!”
