Ohio’s roads face a constant battle against wear and tear from weather, heavy traffic, and aging infrastructure. Ohio Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) offers an innovative solution to rehabilitate these roads without the high costs or environmental impact of traditional reconstruction. This process involves recycling the existing asphalt and base materials, transforming them into a strong, durable foundation for a new roadway. By reusing what’s already there, FDR reduces waste, saves money, and supports long-lasting results.
As Ohio continues to tackle infrastructure challenges on tight budgets, FDR provides an eco-friendly and cost-effective approach to road repair. Great Lakes Chloride is proud to partner with communities and contractors across the state, offering expert guidance and high-quality materials to support successful FDR projects.

Benefits of Ohio Full Depth Reclamation for Roads
Ohio Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) offers a range of benefits that make it a smart, sustainable choice for road rehabilitation projects in Ohio. Here are the key advantages:
Recycling and Sustainability
FDR reuses existing asphalt and base materials, eliminating the need to haul away debris or bring in large quantities of new materials. This recycling process not only reduces waste but also conserves natural resources, making it an eco-friendly alternative to traditional road reconstruction.
Cost Savings
By leveraging materials already on-site, FDR cuts down on the costs associated with material transportation and disposal. Additionally, the streamlined process requires less labor and equipment, offering significant savings for municipalities and contractors working within tight budgets.
Durability
FDR strengthens the base of the road by incorporating stabilizing agents like calcium chloride, cement, or lime. The result is a solid, resilient foundation that can handle heavy traffic and harsh weather, extending the lifespan of the road and reducing the need for frequent repairs.
Environmental Impact
With fewer materials to transport and less equipment needed, FDR reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional methods. The process also minimizes the environmental footprint of road repair projects, aligning with Ohio’s goals for sustainable infrastructure development.
FDR is more than just a cost-effective solution—it’s a forward-thinking approach to road rehabilitation that benefits communities and the environment alike.
The Full Depth Reclamation Process
Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) transforms deteriorating Ohio roads into strong, long-lasting surfaces by recycling and rebuilding from the ground up. Here’s a step-by-step look at how the process works:
Pulverization of Existing Asphalt and Base Layers: The first step in FDR involves using specialized equipment to pulverize the entire asphalt surface and a portion of the base material beneath it. This creates a uniform mix of reclaimed materials, which will serve as the foundation for the new road. By breaking down these layers on-site, the process eliminates the need to haul away old materials.
Mixing with Stabilizing Agents: Stabilizing agents like cement, lime, or calcium chloride are added to the pulverized material to improve its strength and durability. These agents bind the particles together, creating a stable and load-bearing base that can withstand Ohio’s heavy traffic and harsh weather conditions.
Compacting and Grading to Create a Strong New Base: After the stabilizing agents are mixed in, the material is compacted to ensure a dense, uniform base. Grading is performed to level the surface and prepare it for the final steps of construction. Proper compaction is critical for ensuring the road’s long-term performance.
Optional Overlay of New Asphalt or Surface Treatment: Once the base is ready, a layer of new asphalt or a surface treatment can be applied to complete the road. This final step provides a smooth, durable surface that is ready for traffic and built to last.
