Each paving project involves several steps that must take place before the surfaces can be paved. This page tells the story of rubberized asphalt from the beginning stages to the final testing of the mix.

Project 1
Pickens County School District 
Rubberized asphalt projects included bus ramps, parking areas and activity areas at Hagood Elementary, Central Elementary, Daniel High, Liberty High and Clemson Elementary.  In total, the various projects amounted to approximately 2,600 tons of rubberized asphalt using about 3,100 scrap tires.

Project 4
Clemson Outdoor Laboratory
This project involved paving the access road for Clemson Outdoor Laboratory with approximately 600 tons of rubberized mix using about 800 scrap tires. This project was done as an addition to the South Carolina Botanical Garden project.

Project 5
Michelin Tire Company
This project involved research designed to determine potential opportunities and economic feasibility of using post-consumer scrap tires and derivatives in new tires.

Project 6
ARTS Research Facility Demonstration Areas
Various applications for crumb rubber were used in the construction of the building that houses the ARTS research laboratory and office space. These applications include: a retaining wall, septic tank and tile field, landscape bedding, and of course, asphalt rubber pavement for the parking lot and driveways. The rubberized pavement included both the intermediate and surface courses. Approximately 250 scrap tires were used in the paving and other applications.
