Asphalt recyclers honored.The Asphalt asphalt (ăs`fôlt, –fălt), brownish-black substance used commonly in road making, roofing, and waterproofing. Chemically, it is a natural mixture of hydrocarbons. Recycling & Reclaiming Association (ARRA), Annapolis, Md., has honored two highway engineers for their roles in advancing asphalt recycling. Frank S. Bland of the South Carolina Department of Transportation The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) is a Government agency in the U.S. State of South Carolina. Its mission is to build and maintain roads and bridges and administer mass transit services. , Chester, S.C., was awarded for "Excellence in Full Depth Reclamation." And David A. Eller of the Colorado Department of Transportation, Grand Junction Grand Junction, city (1990 pop. 29,034), seat of Mesa co., W Colo., at the junction of the Gunnison and Colorado rivers; inc. 1891. The shipping and processing center of a large ranch and irrigated farm region, it also serves the area's uranium, oil shale, gas, and , Colo., was recognized with the "Charles R. Valentine Award for Excellence in Cold In-Place Recycling." Bland recommended the use of full depth reclamation (FDR) for a highway project in 1995 and has been recommending, overseeing and managing the use of the method for projects in his district ever since. Eller has been involved in promoting testing and standardization standardization In industry, the development and application of standards that make it possible to manufacture a large volume of interchangeable parts. Standardization may focus on engineering standards, such as properties of materials, fits and tolerances, and drafting of cold in-place recycling (CIR (Committed Information Rate) In a frame relay network, the average transmission rate in bits per second (typically Kbps) for a virtual circuit. It defines the maximum rate that the network can handle under normal conditions. ) procedures in Colorado. On one recent project, Eller worked with a material supplier to "develop parameters for performance-related testing that is appropriate for cold recycle mix design." |
