What this covers
Every downstream decision depends on measurement. Carbon credits require a quantified delta. EPDs require conformant data. Methodology development requires a baseline you can defend in public consultation.
We build that measurement from the ground up. We collect primary data from your production plants, your haul routes, and your job sites. We model the complete system boundary from raw material extraction through installation on the road.
The result is a number that stands up to third-party review, registry scrutiny, and buyer due diligence. If the number isn't there, we tell you before you invest in the next stage.
System boundary: A1 to A5
Failed Roads Qualify
Cold recycling is a reconstruction method, not a maintenance treatment. The road must have reached the end of its structural life, where resurfacing and repair are no longer effective solutions.
Mill and Remove Aged Asphalt
A cold recycler pulverizes the existing asphalt and base layers into loose material in a single pass. The failed road becomes the raw material for the new one, processed entirely on site.
Material Processed
The pulverized material is processed into a uniform, size and engineered mix.
Recycled and Remixed
A recycling agent is introduced into the reclaimed material, reactivating the old binder and transforming it into a structurally stable base layer without heat.
Compacted and Installed
The finished cold mix is laid right behind the recycling train and immediately compacted, allowing traffic to reopen within hours. It’s highly efficient: contractors typically finish 1 to 1.5 center line miles per shift, making it two to three times faster than conventional repaving.
Our approach
Scope and boundary
Define goal, scope, functional unit, and system boundary. Align with PCR requirements if EPD is downstream.
Primary data collection
Collect operational data directly from plants, contractors, and haul operations. No generic database averages where primary data exists.
Modelling
ISO 14040/14044 conformant modelling. Full cradle-to-installation analysis with transparent assumptions and sensitivity checks.
Baseline comparison
Model the incumbent method under identical conditions. Quantify the delta. Document every assumption for third-party review.
