FDR (Full Depth Reclamation) is a sustainable and cost-effective method used in road construction to rehabilitate and improve deteriorated pavements. Instead of removing and replacing old pavement, FDR recycles the existing materials on-site to create a new, stable base layer. We can see its big benefits as below
Cost-Effective: Reusing existing materials reduces the need for new materials and transportation costs.
Sustainable: It minimizes waste and the environmental impact associated with traditional road reconstruction methods.
Quick Construction: The process is faster than full reconstruction, reducing road closure times.
Improved Durability: The stabilized base created through FDR often results in a more durable and longer-lasting road.
FDR is particularly useful for roads that have suffered from extensive cracking, rutting, or other forms of distress but still have a reasonably strong underlying structure.
