VECAT Cold Recycling Classes – Tomorrow's Technology Today

The 2017 VECAT Cold Recycling classes kicked off on August 1-3 with great success and even more ideas to add to future classes. Students were instructed by a group of well-known industry leaders to learn about Full-Depth Reclamation (FDR), Cold Asphalt Plant Recycling, and Cold Asphalt Field Recycling topics such as Cold In Place Recycling (CIR) Equipment and Construction Techniques, Density Testing and Acceptance, Inspection and Quality Assurance Programs, Basics of Cold Asphalt Recycling Mix Design, Basics of FDR Materials, Where and Why to Use FDR, and its Performance Benefits. Because of the smaller number of participants in these pilot classes, students enjoyed one-on-one attention with the instructors and were able to ask questions about specific projects and/or specs pertaining to these processes. The class was well-received by all, and the VECAT team looks forward to offering additional sessions in 2018.
