Description
Through this paper is analysed the possibility of recycling asphalt and reusing this in receipts of new asphalt to build road infrastructure inside urban areas and inter-urban areas, because analysing the investments that are being realized in the road infrastructure in Kosova last years, and investments that are going on, there are indicators showing economical, environmental and ….benefits of the society .
According to database of the Kosova Ministry of Transport and Telecommunication until the year 2014, the territory of Kosova has 2005.5 km of the road, 4% are highways, magisterial roads 32% and 64% regional roads, most of them should be reconstructed, so, the existing asphalt layers should be removed, and this layer has a thickness of 15 -30 cm, depending on category of road.
Positive expected effects from re-use of recycled asphalt can be treated through cost -benefit analyses, especially through its direct impact on:
- Reducing massive exploration of our natural and other resources for producing asphalt
- Reducing production and use costs of asphalt
- Growing possibility for problem-solving through asphaltation of more roads in urban or periurban areas
- Minimizing of environmental degradation from asphalt waste
- Improving public health
However considering information, that level of asphalt recycling in Kosovo and in the region does not exceed more than 5%, while the construction waste 10%, it is the fact that this process should be treated seriously especially considering the fact that Kosova is a state under development and there is limited capacity for investment in road infrastructure considering mass needs.
