ROADWAY REHABILITATION WITH FAST-TRACK CONCRETE PAVING

Road agencies and airport authorities no longer have the luxury of closing roads while traditional pavement construction or repair work is performed. Traffic flow must be maintained due to high traffic volumes and public impatience with traffic interruption. Fast-tracked portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement construction offers a solution to these problems by providing high-quality, long-lasting pavements with quick public access. These fast track projects, however, entail changes in traditional specifications and processes to accelerate construction. This article discusses the changes to project components that will shorten concrete pavement construction time. The project components covered are planning, concrete materials, jointing and sealing, concrete curing and temperature, strength testing, and traffic opening criteria.
