YHAUC RECYCLE GROUP UPDATE 22/02/2008 EDS material approval update: • Frequency of testing agreed with S.Y. Lab. • Lab CBR tests satisfactory. • Water soluble sulphate content - Pass. • Oxidisable sulphides content - Pass. • Soundness – Pass. • Frost susceptibility – Pass. • LA Coefficient – Pass.
YHAUC RECYCLE GROUP UPDATE 22/02/2008 Inconclusive Results due to insufficient data: • Insitu plate CBR testing, not enough sites. • 90 day cube strengths insufficient results. Reasons Why: • Number of reinstatements available for testing. • Insufficient material demand. • Asbestos testing regime at S.Y. Lab. • Insufficient material demand to allow an acceptable testing frequency. Only National Grid (Gas) using plant so far.
YHAUC RECYCLE GROUP UPDATE 22/02/2008 S.Y. Lab advice to Recycle Group: • Cannot give full approval at present. i.e. Only narrow trenches & <2 sq m openings in type 3 & 4 roads & footways allowed for SMR machine mix material. • With a more proactive approach a full report in 3 months.
