HOT IN PLACE RECYCLING (HIPR)

What is HIPR?
Hot In Place Recycling (HIPR) is a process of heating up the existing asphalt pavement surface, loosening it, mixing it with rejuvenating agent with or without new hot mix
material in an on-board pug-mill mixer and laying it back on the same pavement surface, all in a single pass operation.

The Application
With HIPR, the effective depth of scarified pavement layers is up to 50 mm. The primary purpose of the HIPR technique is to correct surface distresses. HIPR provides
solutions to surface crackings, minor ruttings, ravelling and stripping. HIPR can also be used to recoat stripped aggregates, re-establish crown and drainage and modify
aggregate gradation and asphalt content, and improve surface frictional resistance.

and virgin mix.

The Advantages
HIPR offers a viable cost-effective technique for rehabilitation of pavements by using existing in-place materials. HIPR represents the future of pavement technology and
will replace conventional pavement rehabilitation methods.

Cost effective where operations use less manpower and machineries, and a shorter construction time. Saves on the investment in repair costs.
Versatile where pavements are now easy to construct through one pass operations, production is highly mobile, and causes less traffic disruption.
Ecologically Friendly where existing materials can be reused, causes less air pollution and conserves natural resources (quarry product).
