(FDR) Full-Depth Asphalt Reclamation &
Pulvermixing Recycling with Cement

Sustainable Asphalt Restoration for Long -Term Performance

Learn More

We specialize in Full-Depth Reclamation (FDR), a cutting-edge pavement restoration process that rebuilds deteriorated asphalt pavement and its base subgrade.

By pulverizing existing materials on-site and stabilizing them with cement, FDR eliminates the need for costly removals while delivering a stronger, longer-lasting pavement.

With state–of–the–art reclaiming machinery, we execute FDR efficiently and with minimal disruption, making it an ideal solution for commercial properties, industrial sites, and municipal roadways.

Most projects can be performed overnight, allowing normal business operations to continue uninterrupted.

What is Full-Depth Reclamation (FDR)?

Full-Depth Reclamation (FDR) is an advanced pavement rehabilitation process that pulverizes existing asphalt and base materials in place, blending them with cement and water to create a strong, stabilized subgrade. A new asphalt surface is then applied, resulting in a high-performance pavement that lasts for years.

At Giordano Construction Inc.®, we utilize state-of-the-art reclaiming machinery to efficiently recycle materials on-site, eliminating the need for costly excavation and hauling. Our streamlined process is significantly faster than traditional removal and replacement, minimizing disruptions to traffic and business operations. Most projects can be completed overnight, ensuring minimal impact on tenants, customers, and daily operations.

When is FDR the
Right Solution?

  • Base Failure & Poor Drainage–Addresses water infiltration, sub-base instability, and load-bearing issues, preventing further pavement failures.
  • Aging Pavement with Multiple Overlays–Instead of costly removal and replacement, FDR recycles the existing surface, making it a more sustainable and cost-effective alternative.

Our FDR Process

Pulverization – The existing asphalt and base materials are ground in place to create a uniform, recycled mix.

Stabilization – Cement and water are blended into the pulverized material, offering enhanced strength and durability.

Compaction & Grading – The stabilized base is shaped, compacted, and leveled to ensure proper drainage and long-term stability.

New Asphalt Installation – A fresh asphalt surface is applied and compacted, delivering a smooth, high-performance finish.

Why Choose FDR?

  • Cost-Effective Alternative –  Reduces costs by 25-50% compared to traditional removal and replacement.
  • Faster Project Completion– Eliminates excavation and hauling, allowing for quicker turnaround times with minimal disruption.
  • Eco-Friendly Solution– Reuses existing materials, reducing landfill waste and conserving natural resources.
  • Stronger, Longer-Lasting Pavement– Stabilized subgrade improves load-bearing capacity, preventing future failures
  • Minimized Traffic Impact– Can often be completed overnight, reducing disruptions for businesses and municipalities.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does an FDR project take?

Most projects are completed within a few days, depending on size, significantly faster than traditional asphalt replacement

How soon can the surface be used after FDR?

Traffic can typically resume within 24–48 hours after asphalt installation.

How long does an FDR - restored pavement last?

With proper maintenance, FDR–treated surfaces can last 15–25 years, similar to full–depth asphalt replacement.

Is FDR a good option for all asphalt surfaces?

FDR is ideal for severely damaged pavement with subbase failures but may not be necessary for minor surface issues.

How long before traffic is permitted on newly repaired surface?
Proposed downtime will be determined during the consultation and proposal process. A plan will be developed prior to any construction minimizing the effects on traffic flow. A well planned approach will minimize customer and tenant stress allowing for continued operations during the construction process.
