This paving method involves the in situ heating and reclamation of the surface layer of asphalt pavement that has undergone wear, flow movements, or cracking. There are three methods – re-mixing, re-paving, and re-gripping – depending on the process as it extends from the heating and raking of the road surface to compaction. These methods are applied in accordance with the purpose at hand.

This is a method for gently stripping away the existing asphalt pavement from steel deck slabs by harnessing electromagnetic induction heating (IH) technology to heat steel deck slabs and soften the adhesive layer underneath the surface of the asphalt pavement.
