Sustainable pavements are PERMEABLE pavements. The West Coast Pervious Concrete Pavement Conference will take place at Kellogg West on the Cal Poly Pomona campus, April 7-9. We look forward to great presentations from the pervious concrete industry, a demonstration project, and a great learning experience. Our center will sponsor one student scholarship and encourage all…
As a token of appreciation from the ASCE Los Angeles Sustainability Committee, 5 tonnes of CO2 were offset in the name of the Pavement Recycling and Reclaiming Center. Here is the certificate:
No less than 29 students were awarded the Kenneth K. Damgaard Scholarship this year. These students successfully pursued certification as sustainable professionals. Congratulations! The full list of recipients here.
A methodology developed at the center over the years, Green Up uses colors and symbols to illustrate the sustainable aspects of pavement rehabilitation strategies. Designers can use Green Up to compare rehabilitation strategies and learn more about how they can “green up” the design. The latest version is available for evaluation in the form of…
Please visit our new web page to learn more about Kenneth K. Damgaard and the scholarship that bears his name. Also included is a list of Cal Poly Pomona Engineering students that took advantage of the scholarship and became certified sustainability professionals.
We are happy to announce that we received funding from the California State University Transportation Consortium to further develop Green Up. The scope of the project is to finalize the framework and criteria used to compare rehabilitation strategies in terms of sustainability. More information about the project here.
Join us for a half-day seminar on Greenroads, the sustainability rating system for roadways and transportation infrastructure, Friday, February 27, in Building 9 Room 311, from 8 to noon or from 1 to 5 pm. The Greenroads™ Rating System has been used on over 120 design and construction projects, for new design as well as…
Here is a link to the presentation made at ISAP 2014 about Green Up. The general concept is described and more detail is provided on the inputs required to produce the color-coded cube. The software application is available for download on the Green Up page. We welcome your feedback but please remember the application is still…
PRRCenter.org has a new look and feel. News and announcements will appear on the Home page. Our Education page is a portal to learning more about sustainable pavement materials and practices. Please bear with us while we constantly add more information to this section of the website. We maintained our Founders page where you can…
In this presentation, key sustainability features of pavements structures are identified and discussed. The presentation starts with an overview of the state of the pavement. The second part of the presentation goes over asphalt recycling and reclaiming strategies. Finally, several sustainability rating systems for pavements are presented. The presentation can be accessed online on slideshare.
In this article from APWA Reporter (August 2013) you can learn about integrating pavement recycling and reclaiming strategies in pavement management. Asphalt recycling and reclaiming techniques are briefly described and guidelines for including asphalt recycling and reclaiming in multi-year pavement management programs are provided.

The12th ISAP Conference on Asphalt Pavements will be held in Raleigh, North Carolina, U.S.A., on June 1-5, 2014. Dr. Andrei will present a paper describing “Green Up”: a graphical method to compare pavement rehabilitation alternatives in terms of sustainability. The sustainable aspects of materials, rehabilitation technologies and surface properties are graphically illustrated with colors. Green…
