The CIR Advantage

  • Lean process methodology means removing wasteful practices and improving efficiencies. CIR eliminates over 8,474 dump truck miles per mile of road maintenance work when compared to a traditional 3” mill & overlay method. This results in better safety, less traffic congestion and simpler logistics.

  • CIR eliminates 11.7 tons or more of greenhouse gases per mile of road maintenance compared to a traditional 3” mill and fill method. Your outcome is better achievement of Environmental, Social and Governance objectives.

  • CIR eliminates waste of 1,956 CY in asphalt base material and puts significantly less pressure on dump sites and virgin reserves since materials are recycled.

  • CIR can recycle up to 6 inches of asphalt base (8 for new machines). This fixes structural issues over twice the depth of a 3” mill and fill resulting in longer life for your road. Additionally, CIR eliminates over 4,200 loaded dump truck miles (and 4,200 unloaded miles) per project mile compared to a 3” mill and fill. (The Generalized Fourth Power Law impact of a fully loaded dump truck compared to a 5,000 pound BEV passenger vehicle is 1,385.) Less dump truck miles helps drive a lower whole-life asset cost for the roads in your community.

  • Roads can remain open during CIR construction jobs and lanes are drivable immediately after compaction. Machinery moving at 12 to 16 foot per minute means faster completions and less disruption for your community residents.
