RSTA Code of Practice for In-situ Structural Road Recycling 2012
Too often today's highway engineer is prevented from carrying out large scale highway structural repairs due to inadequate funding allocations. Instead, patching and / or bituminous overlay is often the only affordable solution available. It is hoped that this Code of Practice will not only bring to the engineer's attention the substantial cost saving potential of In-situ Structural Road Recycling together with the many social and environmental benefits attributed to it but also assure the engineer that contractors who adhere to this Code will deliver the quality of product and service expected.
