Pavement Management Plan - Episode 5: Reclamation

Date: Friday, April 25, 2025 at 8:00 PMActual: Friday, April 25, 2025 at 8:00 PM

When roads are looking pretty shabby, it's time for some reclamation! Reclamation—or full-depth reclamation—is a road rehabilitation technique that involves grinding up a road's existing asphalt and mixing it with the top part of the aggregate base to create a new base layer, then paving over top with fresh pavement.

[0:00] the city of Chanhassen manages [0:02] approximately 119 miles of streets and [0:04] their upkeep We review and grade all [0:07] city roads every 3 years Based on [0:09] funding we prioritize what roads need [0:11] work and schedule construction and [0:13] repairs This is our pavement management [0:18] plan One technique we use to repair our [0:20] city roads is full depth reclamation [0:23] Full depth reclamation or FDR involves [0:26] grinding up a road's existing asphalt [0:28] and mixing it with the top part of the [0:29] aggregate base to create a new base [0:32] layer After that base layer is set new [0:34] layers of asphalt are installed on top [0:36] Any excess material that could be [0:37] recycled on site is hauled away to be [0:39] recycled elsewhere We use this [0:41] construction technique when the existing [0:43] pavement shows signs of significant [0:45] deterioration and generally scores below [0:48] a 60 on the overall condition index a [0:50] zero to 100 point scale we use to rate a [0:53] road's health Although we use the OCI to [0:55] address road rehabilitation keep in mind [0:57] that other engineering factors may play [0:59] a role in the selection process For more [1:01] on our selection process make sure to [1:03] check out the first video in our [1:04] pavement management series Although this [1:06] method is more expensive and extensive [1:09] than the mill and overlay technique it [1:11] avoids the more costly total [1:13] reconstruction which involves various [1:15] additional improvements That's full [1:17] depth reclamation a road construction [1:19] method that digs a little deeper [1:21] recycling the old to build a new For [1:24] more information about why we choose [1:25] certain repair methods over others an [1:27] overview of the construction process and [1:29] other intensive repair techniques make [1:32] sure to watch the other videos in our [1:33] pavement management plan series For [1:36] other information about the projects [1:37] happening around Chanhassen visit [1:39] chanhassenm.gov/projects [1:42] [Music]

Chanhassen Pavement Management Plan and Full Depth Reclamation

Full Document Analysis

Full depth reclamation or FDR involves grinding up a road's existing asphalt and mixing it with the top part of the aggregate base to create a new base layer.

Unknown [0:23]Pavement Management Plan: Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) Technique Explanation

We use this construction technique when the existing pavement shows signs of significant deterioration and generally scores below a 60 on the overall condition index a zero to 100 point scale we use to rate a road's health.

Unknown [0:41]Pavement Management Plan: Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) Technique Explanation

Although this method is more expensive and extensive than the mill and overlay technique it avoids the more costly total reconstruction which involves various additional improvements.
