Responsible reuse of asphalt
When reusing or disposing of asphalt, it is essential to investigate whether polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are present in the asphalt layers. These substances can be harmful to the environment and are subject to strict laws and regulations.
With a PAH and DLC survey, you demonstrate environmental awareness and compliance with applicable standards. In addition, the examination is important to correctly determine the reusability of asphalt and foundation materials and prevent problems during processing or acceptance.
Certainty about processing
A timely survey helps you process materials responsibly and efficiently. Thus you avoid unexpected costs, delays and rejection at asphalt plants or processors.
The benefits of a PAH and DLC survey:
-
1.
Prevent environmental damage and comply with legal obligations
-
2.
Gain insight into the reusability and disposal of materials
-
3.
Avoid delays during processing or disposal
-
4.
Reduce the risk of unexpected costs and discussions
-
5.
Work with clear and recognized reports
Timely testing prevents surprises
We recommend timely sampling and analysis of asphalt and foundation layers when reusing secondary materials. This is important for both reuse and disposal.
By gaining insight into the presence of PAHs and other tar-containing constituents in advance, you can avoid unexpected situations during processing or transport. This way you keep a grip on planning, costs and regulatory compliance.
Specialist in PAH and DLC research
We have the expertise and certified research methods to accurately determine PAHs and other tar-containing components.
After the investigation, you receive a clear and compliant report that is recognized by processors and competent authorities. So you know exactly where you stand and can continue with your project without unnecessary delay.
What it gives you concretely:
-
1.
You know in advance whether materials are reusable
-
2.
You avoid delays in acceptance or processing
-
3.
You comply with environmental legislation and guidelines
-
4.
You limit risks during projects and transport
-
5.
You have reliable documentation for processors and supervisors
Handling asphalt responsibly
Sustainable and responsible use of materials requires reliable insights and clear analyses. With a PAH and DLC study, you make well-founded choices for reuse, processing or disposal of asphalt and foundation materials. Together we ensure a safe, efficient and future-oriented approach.
