Most people are familiar with the importance of recycling traditional household items, but environment- and budget-conscious construction companies and developers have been making use of more unlikely recycled materials – concrete and asphalt – for year.

P. Flanigan & Sons’ Winchester Recycling Facility, located in Baltimore, is the first concrete crushing plant in Maryland to produce 100% Recycled Crushed Graded Aggregate Base (GAB). that earns the approval of the Maryland Department of
Transportation Office of Material Technology (MdDOT OMT) for use on state-funded projects. Jeremy Funk, the Winchester Facility Quality Control Leader, and Herman Meusal, Winchester Crushing Plant Manager, diligently coordinated their efforts to
establish production procedures that resulted in material that meets all the specification requirements for Table 901B, Graded Aggregate Base, of the Maryland State Highway Administration Standard Specifications for Construction. Flanigan worked closely with MdDOT OMT reps George Hall, Assistant Division Chief, and Bill Armacost, Statewide Assurance Field Inspector, to achieve this important milestone in advancing the use of sustainable products in road construction. Approval of the use of the Recycled GAB will proceed on a job-by-job basis.
Flanigan is the latest recipient of the Sheldon G. Hayes Award from the National Asphalt Pavement Association for the work on our project on I-97 between Baltimore and Annapolis. Since this is a national award, we are proud and pleased to be recognized in this way. The Sheldon G. Hayes Award winner is determined through a two-year process. Highway pavement projects using more than 50,000 tons of Hot Mix Asphalt are eligible for consideration.
We recently paved a section of N. Charles Street with glassphalt. This product is conventional hot mix asphalt with a small percentage of glass in the mix.
This product was popular for a brief time in the 1980’s. Reportedly, it was a favorite of Mayor Schaeffer. P. Flanigan & Sons stopped regularly producing it chiefly because a local perfume bottle factory closed. The factory produced the highest quality crushed glass.
