Blount Practices Environmentally Friendly Pavement Reclamation

In 2002 the Federal Highway Administration's formal policy on the use of recycled materials outlined the importance of reusing materials in construction of our nations highway system. They called upon all transportation departments to explicitly consider recycling as early as possible.

Today Blount is the largest reclaiming contractor in the Southeast.
Reclaiming is recycling, it's re-using what we already have, and what we've already bought, instead of throwing it away and starting over.

As a member of the Asphalt Recycling & Reclaiming Association, Blount Construction is joining with other ARRA members to help "rebuild a stronger and safer network of highways, streets, and roads across the country and around the world."

Blount is reaching these goals by their committed work in such areas as:

Full depth reclamation
Soil Stabilization
Cold recycling
Hot in-place recycling
