“By mixing & crushing the existing bituminous layers with excavated sub-base and gaining approval to use a Type 2 sub-base we have saved £12600 on disposal (750m3) and £12750 by avoiding the need to buy in some 1500 tonnes of sub-base”. Lewis Civil Engineering.
“…the client crushed it down to 40mm and was recycling it on the base for the building and and using the rest for hardcore on a new road. The cost saving for hardcore was £3,600.00, 400t at £8 per ton, the cost of taking it away would have been substantial (circa £3000). “
