What Is Full-Depth Reclamation?

Full-depth reclamation (FDR asphalt), also known as “mix and mill,” is a proven rehabilitation technique that ACPLM uses to restore worn-out pavement. Instead of removing and replacing old material, ACPLM pulverizes the existing asphalt pavement and base course, blends them together, and re-stabilizes the new layer.

This reclaimed base is re-graded, compacted, and strengthened with stabilizing agents such as Portland Cement or asphalt emulsions. Once complete, ACPLM installs a new surface course of hot mix asphalt, resulting in improved compressive strengths, ride quality, and moisture resistance.

Why Choose ACPLM for Full-Depth Reclamation?

ACPLM specializes in full-depth asphalt pavement reclamation throughout Central Florida. We address the **root cause of pavement failure, base deterioration, rather than applying temporary fixes like overlays or patching.

The ACPLM Full-Depth Reclamation Process

1. Pulverization

ACPLM uses advanced milling equipment to grind the existing pavement and base materials into uniform particles.

2. Mixing & Stabilization

The pulverized materials are blended with a stabilizing agent such as Portland Cement, asphalt emulsions, or foamed asphalt. ACPLM engineers each mix design for maximum performance.

3. Grading & Compaction

ACPLM’s crews re-grade and compact the reclaimed base course, creating proper density and depth for long-term strength.

4. Surface Course Installation

Finally, ACPLM installs a new hot mix asphalt surface, improving ride quality and durability.

When to Use ACPLM’s Full-Depth Reclamation Services

Full-depth pavement reclamation is recommended when:

  • Parking lots or roads have extensive alligator cracking.
  • The existing base course has failed due to moisture.
  • Pavement shows severe rutting, dips, or interconnected cracks.
  • Surface repairs and overlays will no longer solve the underlying issues.

In these cases, ACPLM’s full-depth reclamation is the most effective, long-lasting solution.

FAQs

How is full-depth reclamation different from resurfacing?

Resurfacing only replaces the surface course. ACPLM’s full-depth reclamation rebuilds both the base and asphalt together, solving structural problems instead of covering them up.

What types of properties does ACPLM serve with FDR asphalt?

ACPLM provides full-depth reclamation for commercial parking lots, municipal streets, and high-volume roads across Central Florida.

How long does ACPLM’s full-depth pavement reclamation last?

With the right stabilizing agents and maintenance, ACPLM’s reclaimed pavement can perform for 15–20 years or more.

Is full-depth reclamation environmentally friendly?

ACPLM’s reclamation process reuses existing materials, conserving resources and minimizing waste.

Does ACPLM customize stabilizing agents for local soil conditions?

Depending on the site, ACPLM may use Portland Cement, asphalt emulsions, or foamed asphalt to strengthen reclaimed materials.
