Reclamite,

A Data-Driven Condition Assessment for Asphalt Rejuvenation Using Maltene Replacement Technology

The following report aims to provide an objective, data-driven condition assessment of the maltene-based asphalt rejuvenation product, Reclamite® leveraging the ASTM D6433 inspection methodology and process for determining the surface condition of a roadway. Pavement Management Group’s (PMG) Founder and CEO, James Golden performed the ASTM condition assessment, leveraging the PAVER® pavement management system to calculate the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) for each project test section, both treated and untreated.

The PCI (1) provides a numerical measure of the present condition of the pavement based on the distress observed on the surface, which also indicates the structural integrity and surface operational condition. It is not a measure of structural capacity, nor does it provide a direct measurement of skid resistance or roughness, rather provides an objective and rational basis for determining maintenance and repair needs and priorities. The PCI provides feedback on pavement performance serves as the basis for the analysis, review, and metrics outlined within this report.

It is within my professional opinion that an MRT application within the first three years of an asphalt pavement's life will extend the life by up to an additional five (5) years, as shown in the below performance curves created directly from the aggregated data documented within this report
