Road Construction and Repair

West Coast Rubber Recycling manufactures recycled tire rubber derived materials from California generated scrap tires that are used in road construction, road and highway repair and other transportation applications. GroundRubber Tire Derived Aggregate (TDA), GroundRubber Mulch and GroundRubber Crumb Rubber are three products that are finding their way into road construction and repair projects.  Engineers, paving contractors, maintenance supervisors and public works directors are choosing these materials for their versatility, engineering, environmental and cost-saving values.  Our GroundRubber Tire Derived Aggregate (TDA) is most often selected for its engineering values such as compressibility, low pressure, lighter weight and because it drains better than the aggregates it is replacing.  TDA is also often the lowest cost alternative for the job.  GroundRubber TDA is used as lightweight fill for embankment construction to increase the stability of the embankment, reduce the weight of the embankment and minimize settlement.  GroundRubber TDA is also used in pavement edge drains and as a sub-grade fill in road beds to improve drainage, provide thermal insulation and reduce cracking and frost damage.  See product details.

Our GroundRubber Mulch used around road signs and guardrail bases controls weed growth and reduces maintenance time, labor and material costs.  It eliminates pesticides and fertilizers and reduces worker time on busy roads creating a safer work environment.  GroundRubber Mulch is also used in highway medians and in planted areas along roads and byways.  It is free draining, doesn’t blow away and doesn’t require annual replenishing.  See product details.

The use of recycled tire rubber in asphalt pavement can produce longer lasting road surfaces, reduce road maintenance, lower road noise, shorten braking distances and add to the long term cost effectiveness of the pavement.  Our GroundRubber Crumb rubber qualifies as an asphalt grade material for use as an asphalt modifier or as an aggregate in rubberized asphalt.  See product details.
