FAST-TRACK CONCRETE PAVEMENTS
Airport authorities and road agencies face major challenges from increasing traffic volumes on existing airports, roadways and urban streets. Agencies must repair or replace deteriorated aging pavements while maintaining traffic on these structures. Traditional pavement construction, repair or replacement solutions are no longer acceptable due to increasing public impatience with traffic interruption nor are traditional solutions appropriate in urban areas where congestion is severe. Fast-track portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement construction resolves these problems by providing high-quality, long lasting pavement with quick public access. Fast-track techniques are suitable for new construction, reconstruction or resurfacing projects. Because of the many options for fast-track concrete mix proportioning and once it has been applied, its fast curing rates, construction or maintenance projects can be completed sooner, thereby reducing traffic disruptions, increasing productivity, and lowering costs.
