Environmental Benefits

R.W. Blacktop Ltd's hot in-place technique dramatically reduces the environmental impact of road resurfacing.

• By re-using pre-existing materials, consumption of liquid asphalt oil, bitumen, petroleum fuels and new aggregate is significantly diminished.

• Ninety percent of the fuel used by the Pyropaver 300E (the machine used in hot in-place recycling) is propane, a very clean burning energy source.

• The quick and efficient repaving technique creates shorter traffic delays and thereby reduces the atmospheric emissions caused by increased motorist fuel consumption.

• No trucking of material required - saves fuel.

• No crusher required.

• No asphalt plant required.

• No shoulder restoration required.

• No tack coat required

• By using 55% less energy (BTU's) to process 1 ton of asphalt than conventional methods, CO₂ emissions (greenhouse gases) are also reduced by 55% per ton.
