Nevada Golconda CIR Project a First

Nevada has successfully maintained its road system with cold in-place recycling over the past decade, but the Golconda I-80 was its first interstate CIR.


"Most states using CIR report a life cycle from seven to eight years up to 12 to 15 years," Valentine adds. "Nevada's pavement management analysis is telling them that they're getting 10 to 12 years of additional service life out of a
road by using the CIR approach, and as the technology (the emulsions in particular) improves, CIR is producing performance characteristics similar to hot mix."
