REUSE OF MILLING MATERIAL IN WARM BITUMINOUS MIXES FOR ROAD REHABILITATION
In 2013, the Basque Country generated more than 83,000 tonnes of asphalt mix waste from road milling rehabilitation. Currently, most construction tenders include a provision for the removal of milled material to landfill and the management of the waste is left to the construction companies, which reuse it in lower value applications or it even ends up in landfill. Milled asphalt mix materials have the potential to be used again in road construction as components of new asphalt mixes or as granular materials. In recent years, there have only been two applications of milling (warm) in the Basque Country and another two in Spain, but it has not become established as habitual practice.
The CAMPEZO business group leads the MEBITA project, in which GIPUZKOA PROVINCIAL COUNCIL, the civil infrastructure engineering company, CIESM-INTEVÍA, and the asphalt company, ASFALTIA, which is part of the CAMPEZO group, have participated.
