Cold Planing

Introduction
Revolutionized HMA removal, leveling and overlay
preparation
Considerable changes over the last 30 years

Definitions

Half Lane Front Loading Planer

Cold Planing
removal of the existing pavement to the desired depth

Cold Milling
removal pavement surface using drum-mounted
carbide steel cutting bits

Diamond grinding
Restore ride
Improve friction
Not to remove material
Grooving resist hydroplaning

A 2 & 12 FT Cutting Drums

Typical cold milling equipment


Milling head typically rotates counter to the
direction of travel, upcutting the material.
Typical speed 6 m/min (20 ft/min)
Milling heads as wide as 12 ft - up to 16ft
Interchangeable cutting heads Variable widths

Cold Milling Equipment

Cold Planing Around Manhole

Purpose and Application

Cold Milling Uses?

Primary use on HMA


Overlay Prep
100% Recycling

Full lane to partial lane width


Full depth partial depth to removal
Reconstruction
Emerging use on PCC

Trenching With Cold Planer

Removal of rutting
Restoration of curb line
Restoration of cross slope
Restoration of surface friction
Mass removal of HMA
Roughened surface for improved bond

Distresses Treated by CP

Raveling
Bleeding
Shoulder drop off
Rutting
Corrugations
Shoving

Limitations and Effectiveness


Milled Surface texture is a function of:
Carbide bit spacing and condition
Depth of cut
Rotational speed of head
Speed of travel

Design Considerations

General Steps of Cold Planing

Reclaiming and sizing


Removal
Cleaning of the milled surface.
Application of traffic control markings
Wearing course.

Construction Considerations
Pavement to be resurfaced

Resulting surface profile


Skid resistance
Pavement removal and surface profiling
Maintain bridge clearance and curb reveal

Full Lane Cold Planer

Standard head with normal carbide bits


Standard line and grade requirements

Pavement surface to be turned over to traffic


Special heads with more carbide bits
Smoothness and grade requirements in line with HMA
wearing course

Construction Considerations
How will grade be controlled?
Ski, string line, laser, other

Will ride quality be measured on the milled


surface?
Profilograph, profiler, none
