Construction

• New Construction
• Demolition
  Numerous waste materials are generated from manufacturing processes, service industries, construction activities and households which have traditionally been disposed of in landfills or construction/demolition disposal facilities. With landfills reaching capacity in many urban areas and tipping fees becoming very expensive for all industries, recycling of traditional and non-traditional waste materials by the construction industry is becoming a necessity as well as a responsibility. The Hot Mix Asphalt Industry has long been a supporter of recycling road and building materials. Journagan Construction Company has historically participated in recycling of waste materials and continues to be a leader in the efforts to develop new technologies to incorporate more non-traditional waste streams into reusable resources. With an “in-house” asphalt mix design laboratory, highly trained and knowledgeable staff and state of the art testing equipment, incorporation of these non-traditional waste streams into a renewable product becomes possible.

  Journagan Construction has also recieved a Quality Asphalt Paving Award from the Arkansas Asphalt Pavement Association in 2004 and the Missouri Limestone Producer Association's Hellencamp-Rush Memorial Safety Award in 1998.

  Approximately 10 million tons of asphalt roofing shingle scrap is generated each year in the United States. With the large number of waste products generated annually, waste shingles may not seem like a significant problem. However, it has been estimated that waste asphalt shingles represent approximately 1/3 of all construction-related waste reaching land fills. Only wood-related waste and scrap wallboard exceed the volume generated by waste shingles. Waste shingles are an ideal product to be recycled into a Hot Mix Asphalt design. A typical roofing shingle is composed of several layers or base sheets impregnated with asphalt cement and coated with a fine mineral surfacing. Waste asphalt shingles can contain as much as 30 to 40% asphalt cement. Journagan Construction Company has developed programs to recycle both tear-off asphalt shingles generated from re-roofing and the reuse of shingle manufacturing wastes. The raw shingle waste from either source is reduced in size to a fine-grained product by specialized grinding equipment. The ground shingles are then analyzed and tested for incorporation into various mix designs. Ground shingles are added to the virgin asphalt cement in precise volumes and allowed to physically react with the virgin asphalt cement. The extracted asphalt, binding material and fine granules incorporated into the virgin asphalt cement help reduce the dependency on virgin crude, benefit the environment and minimize the cost of production for the consumer.
