PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE PAVING WITH CENTRAL-MIXED CONCRETE
THE INCREASED VOLUME OF HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION DURING THE PAST DECADE HAS CHALLENGED THE INGENUITY OF DESIGNER, CONTRACTOR AND EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER. GREATER NEED FOR INTRICATE INTERCHANGES, URBAN CONSTRUCTION AND OTHER COMPLICATED PAVEMENT ARRANGEMENTS PROMOTED THE CONSIDERATION OF MORE EFFICIENT CONSTRUCTION METHODS. CENTRAL-MIXED CONCRETE OFFERED THE NECESSARY CHARACTERISTICS OF HIGH- CAPACITY AUTOMATION, VERSATILITY AND PORTABILITY. THROUGH THE COOPERATIVE EFFORTS OF OWNER AND CONTRACTOR THIS METHOD HAS NOW PROVED ITS MERIT BY PERFORMANCE AND RANKS AS AN OUTSTANDING DEVELOPMENT OF THE HIGHWAY INDUSTRY. THIS PAPER REPRESENTS THE EXPERIENCE OF A CONTRACTOR EMPLOYING CENTRAL PLANT PROCEDURES ON VARIED HIGHWAY PROJECTS FOR THE STATE OF OHIO. /AUTHOR/
