Major maintenance works A15 highway Ridderkerk-Deil

For major maintenance on the A15, Bontrup's Asfalt Recycle Bedrijf (ARB) provided a fully circular asphalt supply chain. In four week closures, 140,000 tons of asphalt was renewed by Boskalis, with ARB directly processing the ZOAB milling material into high-quality secondary aggregates. This was delivered back to the asphalt plants just-in-time, enabling asphalt mixtures with 65% recycled material to be produced.

Core activities ARB:

  • Disposal and direct reprocessing of ZOAB cutter
  • Production of high-quality secondary aggregates
  • Just-in-time delivery within the tight schedule

With high throughput and a completely closed chain, ARB proved that large-scale sustainability in asphalt projects is feasible, without concessions to planning or quality.

Willem van Biljouw, Boskalis Netherlands: "This project has shown what is possible in terms of sustainability when production, recycling and execution are truly seamless."
