Valentine Surfacing Co. was formed in 1978 with the purchase of a PR 750 Rotomill. The development of the milling machine had made the removal of aged or deteriorated asphalt concrete roadways an econonomic and viable construction practice. The costs and availability of asphalt led to efforts to recycle the removed material; however, the logistics, cost and other problems did not and still has not allowed the full use of these valuable materials when efforts are made to recycle them through a hot plant.

The Founder, Charlie Valentine, had the foresight and innovative instinct to develop and construct what has come to be known as a COLD IN-PLACE RECYCLING TRAIN. The train allowed 100 percent of the material to be recycled in place which dramatically reduced hauling costs and increased production rates. Environmental problems normally associated with hot plant recycling and hot in-place recycling are nonexistent with the cold in-place recycling process. Natural resources in the form of virgin aggregates and energy in the form of fuel to run hot plants or hot in-place recycle plants are conserved with the cold in-place recycle process. Over the years this process has continued to be an accepted method of rehabilitation by numerous federal, state, county, and city agencies. All eleven western states that Valentine Surfacing Co. services specify cold in-place recycling. At the present time, there are over 40 Cold-In Place Recycle Trains in existence throughout the United States and Canada. Valentine Surfacing Co. has recycled in excess of 6,000 lane miles and is widely recognized as a leader in developing this process as an accepted method of rehabilitating roads and airports. We are committed to extending our knowledge and experience to all that have the need to preserve and enhance a roadway system. Because of its involvement in the road rehabilitation industry and its extensive array of equipment which includes nine Rotomills, three reclaimer/stabilizers, and four cold in-place recycling trains, Valentine Surfacing Co. is well positioned to satisfy engineer's technical questions as well as perform high quality work. In recent years, we have entered into the full depth reclamation market with the purchase of three CMI RS-650 reclaimer/stabilizers. This enables us to provide a broader range of services to our clients and has led to our recent entry in the soil stabilization market. Because of many similarities in full depth reclamation and soil stabilization work, it has been a very natural step for Valentine Surfacing Co. We have gained valuable experience in the full depth reclamation field in working with different additives such as lime slurry, cement, lime/fly ash, and emulsions, which lends itself very well to the soil stabilization field as well. The equipment utilized in both processes is virtually the same so our reputation for well maintained, high production equipment remains an important element. Valentine Surfacing Co. is the leader in asphalt recycling and rehabilitation. Call us to take advantage of our technical expertise and high quality work. When you hire Valentine, you hire the best.
