About Us
Environmental Road Surface & Base Course Paving Experts
We appreciate your interest. At Road Surface Recycling Inc. our 100% Hot In-place Recycled Asphalt Paving technology allows for 30-50% financial savings compared to conventional paving. In turn, provides more road kilometers to be paved for the same tax budgeted dollars. We want to thank you for checking us out, below are a few key points as to why we are:
Stronger, Faster, Cleaner and much Greener!
- STRONGER: The recycling process utilizes pre-coated" aggregates that already exist in your roads. As a result, our stability numbers are much higher than conventional paving plant mix. We lay rejuvenated hot mix asphalt on top of a hot planed/milled surface providing a monolithic bond, (no tack needed) which will not allow water to penetrate the seam between the top and base course. Ensuring the elimination of pot holes in the future!
- FASTER: At the end of every-day we leave finished product, ready to be driven on. This leads to reduced traffic delays, congestion, pedestrian inconveniences and safety concerns. More importantly, reduced liability to the contract owner and contractor of raised manholes, catch basins and rough milled surfaces.
- CLEANER: All our materials used in our operations are already located onsite. The recycling process eliminates the need for the following: mining operations, trucking of aggregate, cold milling and hauling of millings or Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP). These millings are stored in large “RAP Piles” which have harmful run off fines. The Road Surface Recycling Hot In-place Recycled process eliminates our contribution to RAP piles and emissions caused by asphalt plants and trucking.
- GREENER: Hot In-place Recycling uses 70% less petroleum products, we use 100% of the existing aggregate and old asphalt cement on-site and reduce greenhouse gases by 70% compared to conventional paving methods.
We are the environmental choice in Hot In place Recycled Paving Contractors!
Communication is the Key to Success!
- When it comes to coordination and communication during RSR Hot In place Recycled projects Road Surface Recycling promise's TRANSPARENCY.
- Road Surface Recycling works to keep our clients informed about all the environmental and monetary savings available.
- As a client you will be provided with a “Daily Work Activity Sheet,” which will include job specific information such as: daily totals, incremental log of square meters, tonnes, rejuvenator consumption per 100-meter lane increments, mix temperatures, thickness test, weather conditions, air voids, end result recovered asphalt cement with a minimum 58-28 binder grade and much more.
- All the information is transmitted via a secure link directly from the onsite technicians.
- We have been providing this type of detailed transparency for more than 20+ years to our customers...11,000 lane kilometers 100% Hot In-place Recycle paved and still going strong.

Asphalt Paving vs. 100% RSR HIPR
Conventional Paving Process
Involves milling, mining & paving....this process can take anywhere between 3 to 14 days over a period of one month for a finished product in many cases. Below are the basic steps, we will be happy to plan a lunch & learn or visit your roads. Contact us today for a Presentation on the conventional paving process vs. the 100% Hot In-Place Recycled Asphalt Paving process.
1. Milling
2. Trucking RAP to pile
3. Sweeping & Clean-up
4. Quarry Blasting & Crushing
5. Trucking Aggregates
6. RAP Crushing & Screening
7. Asphalt Plant Produced HMA
8. Trucking HMA to site
9. Tacking milled surface
10. Paving Operation Roadside
To put this into perspective first we moved 36,760 mt of grindings from the old road. Then 24,650 tons from the Quarry to the asphalt plant. And finally, the plant has to produce and haul 36,760 mt tons of new HMA back to the original job, all ruining the good roads. Ultimately, we must move 98,170 mt to replace the original 36,760 mt .
100% Hot In-place Recycling moves NO aggregates. Hot In place Recycled asphalt would eliminate the enormous amount of trucking needed on our already existing roads and help fight against global warming.
Environmental News/Facts
Hot In-place Recycling can aid in all these issues:
Emissions of potent greenhouse gas have grown, contradicting reports of huge reductions
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/01/200121113039.htm
Despite reports that global emissions of the potent greenhouse gas were almost eliminated in 2017, an international team of scientists has found atmospheric levels growing at record values.

"Cement trucks move in and out of a construction site on St. Clair Ave. W. near Christie St. Cement is an ingredient in concrete, which is indispensable but harming our planet. Scientists, lawmakers and industry are trying to figure out how to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions."

HIPR Process
100% Hot In-Place Recycling (HIPR) is one multifunction step. We do all six functions below at the same time! This process eliminates the milled, tack surface being exposed to traffic, has no RAP waste and there is no traffic congestion due to trucking back and forth to the asphalt plants. Not to mention the benefits gained for the environment. We cut CO2 by 70% and pave more road kilometers for the same tax dollars. It's time to do what's right for the environment and the Taxpayer.
- Preheating
- Gradation adjustment
- Hot milling
- Rejuvenating
- Mixing
- Relaying
And at the end of every day we provide a finished product that is ready to be driven on.
Quality Control
• Hot In place recycled materials are subjected to the HMA quality control standards that ensures the HIR asphalt product meets mix design criteria and standard HMA specifications.
• All tests are performed on the Recycled Mix placed on the road after processing. This is called end result testing.
• The AC is extracted and tested after processing.
Note: Airport, highway, county and city roads are all viable applications for HIR process. Call today to set up a road ride assessment to see if your roads are an applicable project. We would welcome the opportunity to be your eco-friendly partner and paving contractor on the next job!
