Description: There are several “green” pavement options that have been developed over the years, and some that are just emerging.

This presentation will discuss 8 green construction alternatives through construction methodologies and material selection that will help you save energy, reduce emissions, reduce extraction of natural resources, save time and money, and provide a better life-cycle project. Green alternatives that will be discussed include:

1. FDR – Full Depth Reclamation
2. Rubblization – Concrete Pavement
3. HIPR – Hot In-Place Recycling
4. RAP – Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement
5. RAS – Reclaimed Asphalt Shingles
6. Foundry Sand & Slag
7. Tire Derived Rubber
8. Warm Mix Asphalt

After viewing this program participants will be better able to:
1. Make decisions on construction methodologies and materials selection for their upcoming transportation projects.
2. Identify how pervious/permeable pavements can be utilized as both a stormwater and infrastructure facility.
3. Obtain an understanding of how pervious/permeable pavements can be used within their community.
