  • Tear-Off Asphalt Shingle Scrap
  • Recycled Asphalt Shingles (RAS)(Crushed
    screened)

4
History
  • 15 years
  • Multiple research studies in lab and field
  • Manufacturer shingle scrap in hot-mix asphalt
    best known, most accepted practice
  • Still relatively new application

5
Engineering Properties
6
Composition of Residential Asphalt Shingles
7
Composition of Asphalt Roofing Shingles

9
Applications and Performance
10
Multiple Applications
Most Proven
  • HMA

Aggregate (gravel)
Dust control
Cold patch
Ground cover
Fuel
New shingles
11
Factors Affecting HMA Performance
  • Aggregate gradation of RAS
  • Properties of final blended binder content within
    the HMA as affected by
  • RAS asphalt binder
  • Virgin binder

12
Factors AffectingHMA Performance(continued)
  • Location RAS is incorporated into HMA
  • Temperature
  • Moisture content of RAS and other aggregates
  • Retention time in HMA drum

Asphalt Shingles in HMAMissouri DOT Experience
  • Joe Schroer, PE
  • Construction and Materials Division
  • March 30, 2005

33
In The Beginning
  • Approached by Pace Construction and Peerless
    Landfill
  • MoDOT Not Using RAP in Mixtures
  • Deleterious Material
  • Stiffness of Asphalt in Shingles

34
First LookThe Ex Factor
  • Exhaustive Literature Search
  • Exclusion of Tear Offs in States Allowing
    Manufacturing Waste
  • Extra Clean Material Contained Little
    Deleterious Matter
  • Exceptionally Stiff Asphalt Extracted from
    Shingles

35
Shingle Components
  • Asphalt ? 20-40
  • Stiffen Roadway Asphalt
  • Aggregate ? ?30
  • Good Stuff
  • Fiberglass or Paper Mat ? ?30
  • No Harm if Well Dispersed

36
MoDOT Goals
  • Engineering Properties First
  • Harmful Effects of Deleterious Material
  • Asphalt Binder Properties
  • Traffic Safety Nails, etc.
  • If Everything Else Works Out, Landfilling is
    Reduced

37
Why Should We Pursue Shingles?
  • High Asphalt Content
  • Granules Are Hard and Durable
  • Recycling

COT
38
Concerns
  • How Will Deleterious Material Affect the Mixture
  • Can the Low Temperature Grading be Maintained at
    Various Blending Ratios

39
Asphalt After Blending with Shingle Asphalt
  • Resist Rutting
  • Resist Fatigue Cracking
  • Resist Cold-Weather Cracking

40
Asphalt Grades
  • High Temperature for Rut Resistance
  • Low Temperature for Fatigue and Cold Weather
    Performance
  • Performance Graded PG
  • PG 64-22 (PG Sixty-four Minus Twenty-two)
  • High Temp 64C (147F)
  • Low Temp 22C (-8F)

41
Asphalt Modifications Require PG 64-22
  • Stiffer at High Temperature OK
  • Stiffer at Low Temperature
  • Use Lower Percentage of Shingles
  • Use Softer Roadway Asphalt

42
Deleterious Evaluation
  • Specification for Aggregate
  • 0.5 Other Foreign Material
  • Sticks, mud balls, deer fur, etc.
  • Shingle OFM
  • Approximately 3 Total

43
Deleterious Material
  • Nails
  • Wood
  • Plastic
  • Cellophane
  • Paper
  • Fiber Board

44
Trial by Fire
45
No Difference
  • Visually
  • Standard Mixture Tests
  • Placement

46
Big Difference
  • Rut Resistance
  • Cold Temperature Tests
  • OFM in Mixture

47
Can Tear-Off Shingles be Used?
  • Allowance in OFM Due to Small Percentage of
    Shingles and Trial Mixture
  • Start with Softer Roadway Asphalt

48
Where Are We?The Ex Factor 2
  • Extrinsic Material Allowance Raised
  • 3.0 Total
  • 1.5 Wood
  • Expect PG 64-22 met w/ PG 58-28
  • Extra grades optional w/ testing
  • Examining various proportions and asphalts

  • Evaluate effect of Shingle Binder on Virgin
  • Binder
  • Use PP28 Volumetric Mix Design for HMA
  • Determine Optimum Asphalt Content

(Justus, September 2004)

103
What happens to RAS in Virgin Binder
  • RAS binder dissolves into virgin binder
  • RAS binder partially dissolves into virgin binder
  • RAS binder does not dissolve but acts like an
    aggregate particle
  • RAS binder particle absorbs volatile oils from
    virgin binder
  • Additional virgin binder needed to coat RAS
    binder particle

(Justus, September 2004)

DKA / AESFiber Tests
  • As part of the RMRC Project
  • Environmental Testing of Airborne Particles
    atThe Shingle Processing Plant
  • April 2003

119
Summary Highlights
  • Risk from asbestos is negligible to non-existent
  • Two rounds of sampling for total
  • Dust (1999)
  • Fibers (2002)
  • Common sense and best management practices can
    help prevent employee exposure

120
Sampling Results
  • PEL was not exceeded
  • Peak (excursion) levels under standard
  • Peak exposure during cleaning
  • Worst case total fibers measured at 0.06 fibers
    per cubic centimeter (f/cc) of air
  • Well within asbestos PEL

121
Key Conclusions
  1. Previous waste sampling indicates negligible
    asbestos in used asphalt roofing shingles
  2. Asbestos is more likely from commercial roofing
    waste, mastic, caulk or felt
  3. Any new exposure to asbestos would be at shingle
    recycling (e.g., grinding) operation
  4. Private, residential, shingle family homes are
    exempt from NESHAP

122
Key Conclusions(continued)
  1. MN OSHA sampling in 1999 indicated total dust
    within PEL standards
  2. AES sampling in 2002 indicated total fibers
    within PEL standards
  3. Operators can reduce employee risk to dust and
    fiber exposure
  4. Personal respirators are probably NOT necessary

Summary
132
Current Trends and Future Growth
  • Virgin asphalt is expensive, tipping fees are
    rising, improved economics
  • Applications other than HMA are being developed
  • Use of post consumer shingle waste is promising

133
National Asphalt Price Trend
Source U.S. Dept. of Labor Bureau of Labor
Statistics
134
Shingles Recycling into HMA is a Proven
Technology
  • History of experience
  • Private operators
  • State engineers
  • Environmental regulators
  • Substantial body of literature
  • High quality HMA can be maintained

135
Quality Control Savings
  • QA/QC critical
  • Use in HMA can be very cost effective
  • Cheaper alternative to landfilling
  • 0.50 to 3.30 per ton of HMA

136
Quality Specs Scrap Feedstock and Final
Products
  • Free of debris / trash / foreign matter
  • Tear-off scrap must be asphalt shingles only
  • No nails!

137
Certification and Inspection of Shingle Supply
  • Clear written spec for acceptable material
  • Certify suppliers
  • State licensed asbestos inspectors
  • Visual screening of all shingle scrap
  • Types of shingles
  • I.d. non-shingle waste
  • I.d., layers, composites, thickness, etc.

Source Paul Ruesch, April 13, 2003.
138
Model Sampling Protocol (if required)
  • Specified sampling frequency of incoming loads
  • Sampling of recycled asphalt shingles (ground /
    screened product)
  • Willingness to certify quality of finished
    products

Source Paul Ruesch, April 13, 2003.
139
Proposed Tear-Off Supplier Certification Form
  • .. We . certify that
  • All tear-off shingle scrap came from residential
    buildings having four or fewer dwelling units
    and
  • These residential buildings are not regulated
    facilities according to state and federal rules
    and
  • The material delivered consists of asphalt
    shingles only and contains no known hazardous
    material.

140
Proposed Tear-Off Processor Certification Form
  • .. We . certify that
  • All tear-off shingle scrap came from certified
    suppliers only (see Supplier Certification
    forms) and
  • The final product contains no known hazardous
    material.

141
Strategy
  • Identify players
  • Pre-meeting
  • Identify unknowns
  • Request demonstration project

Source Paul Ruesch, April 13, 2003.
142
Minnesota Approach
  • Regulatory status under NESHAP
  • Single family shingle scrap only (no commercial
    or institutional buildings)
  • No testing required if certified as free of
    asbestos

Source Dan Krivit, Overcoming the Barriers to
Asphalt Shingle Recycling, Environmental White
Paper Report, Mn/DOT, April 2003.
143
Key Conclusions
  • Proven and documented
  • Quality control is essential
  • Economics are driving the market
  • Manufacturer shingle scrap recycling is here
    today and commercialized
  • Tear-off shingle scrap is under development, but
    feasible

144
Recommendations
  • 1. CONTINUE MARKET DEVELOPMENT
  • Cities, counties and states should use alternate
    bid language allowing shingles
  • EPA / CMRA project in progress
  • Asbestos statistics
  • Best practices guideline documents
  • Implementation / Outreach

145
Recommendations(Continued)
  • 2. MANAGE the asbestos issue
