• Cold-in-place recycling

  In a typical year, SDG Counties completes 370,000 square metres of cold-in-place recycling (CIR). That’s enough to cover 40 km of roadway per year. This application conserves energy and natural resources by using the existing road material and stabilizing the re-used asphalt material to improve the overall characteristics of the road base. The existing roadway material is 100 per cent recycled and paved simultaneously to produce a recycled asphalt surface which is free of dust. This application conserves energy and natural resources by using the existing road material and stabilizing the re-used asphalt material to improve the overall characteristics of the road base. The final riding surface will be new hot mix asphalt and will be reinstated approximately one month after the recycling process.

• Hot-mix paving

  SDG Counties installs more than 60,000 metric tonnes of asphalt per year covering approximately 60 km of newly-paved roadway.  SDG Counties' hot mix contract is one of the largest in Ontario. 

• Pavement preservation

  Pavement preservation is a cost-effective way to ensure strong roads remain in good shape. By considering all the roads in a network and directing dollars to where they have the most impact earlier in a road’s life, municipalities avoid unsustainably high maintenance costs when pavement nears the end of its service life. It’s just like brushing your teeth – a little bit every day saves you from cavities and keeps your smile looking great!

• Micro-surfacing

  Micro-surfacing is an effective and preventive maintenance application that seals and waterproofs the existing road surface while correcting minor defects, filling minor wheel track ruts, improving skid resistance and appearance.

• Culvert lining (various locations)

  Culvert lining is a trenchless culvert pipe rehabilitation method that allows culverts to be restored instead of replaced. Culvert lining eliminates the traffic disruption, increased cost, minimizes material waste, and provides easier installation in non-conventional replacement areas.

• Centreline painting

  Road surface markings are used on paved roads to provide guidance and information to drivers and pedestrians. Uniformity of the markings is an important factor in minimizing confusion and uncertainty about their meaning, and efforts exist to standardize such markings across Ontario.  To provide a consistent message to all of SDG Counties' residents and tourists, SDG Counties will complete an estimated 2.5 million metres of centreline, edge line and turn lane delineation.  That equates to almost double the width of Ontario and our contractor complete this work in seven days.
