Cold in-place recycling describes a technique in which the entire roadway pavement is pulverized and both the "bound" and "unbound" courses are completely reutilized.

The addition of binders produces a new mixture of materials which is placed directly by the recycling machine and serves as the base or foundation course. Various materials can be used as binder. Cement and bituminous materials are most commonly used.

The process is enhanced by Wirtgen's Model WM 1000 Suspension Mixing Plant, which permits computer-controlled, dust-free addition of cement to the cold recycling process when used with Wirtgen recycling equipment.

A surface dressing is applied to seal the surface of minor roads. One or more asphalt courses are placed on the stabilized base for higher-traffic volume roads.
