Recycling Research and Technology

Raba Kistner Consultant’s innovative approaches and technologies have helped our clients eliminate some of their environmental liability by eliminating landfill waste from construction projects.  For over ten years, our materials testing laboratories have used recycling research and technology to provide a unique approach to using waste materials that we recycle back into useful construction materials.

For example, our team of materials consultants, engineers and laboratory technicians can develop mix designs that incorporate the recovered materials to meet Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) standards and local government regulations. Daily Quality Assurance testing conducted by our team is typically requested to document that products produced conform to project specifications.

Whether it is glass, asphalt, environmentally-affected soils, drill cuttings, or waste concrete, we have used our experience and research capabilities to successfully reuse these products – previously considered as waste – into useful construction materials and products.

  • Pre-demolition assessment evaluation of recyclable materials
  • Mix design development using recycled materials
  • Research and testing programs for reuse of perceived wastes
  • Quality Control/Assurance testing during processing and construction
