Roller Compacted Concrete: Heavy-duty pavement for the heaviest traffic. Roller compacted concrete (RCC), uses paving equipment and rollers to create an exceptionally strong surface that stands up to the heaviest traffic and the harshest conditions. It’s long-lasting, affordable, and most importantly, it can be installed very quickly. Supporting green, sustainable growth, pervious concrete captures stormwater and allows it to drain into the ground for more efficient land use. SUSTAINABILITY RCC offers many of the same environmental benefits as other types of concrete. Its surface reflects light and reduces heat absorption, which helps mitigate heat islands and lowers the energy consumption needed for lighting and air conditioning. RAPID PLACEMENT Perhaps the biggest benefit of RCC pavement is that it can be constructed more quickly and cost-effectively than other pavements. Placed with conventional or high-density paving equipment and compacted with rollers, RCC eliminates the need for forming and finishing. In most cases, it can be completed in one pass. Because of its density and compaction, RCC can achieve sufficient load carrying capacity quickly and has, in some instances, been open to traffic within 24 hours after placement. AFFORDABILITY Like conventional concrete, RCC is low maintenance, requiring fewer repairs over its service life, and no seal coating or resurfacing. It’s also inexpensive to build, comparable or even more affordable to other types of paving. When compared to conventional paving costs, RCC can provide savings of 25% to 30%. USES RCC is the concrete of choice for projects requiring quick placement and an extra degree of strength and durability. This includes heavy and light industrial areas, logging facilities, ports, arterial roads, and high-speed surfaces such as highways and airports. DURABILITY One of RCC’s great strengths is literally its great strength. Because of its high density, it can take a tremendous amount of punishment. It’s also resistant to extreme summer and winter temperatures, and surface contaminants such as fuels, oils, and solvents, making it perfect for industrial use.

Roller Compacted Concrete: Heavy-duty pavement for the heaviest traffi c. Roller compacted concrete (RCC), uses paving equipment and rollers to create an exceptionally strong surface that stands up to the heaviest traffi c and the harshest conditions. It’s long-lasting, affordable, and most importantly, it can be installed very quickly.

Supporting green, sustainable growth, pervious concrete captures stormwater and allows it to drain into the ground for more effi cient land use.

SUSTAINABILITYRCC offers many of the same environmental benefi ts

as other types of concrete. Its surface refl ects light and reduces heat absorption, which helps mitigate heat islands and lowers the energy consumption needed for lighting and

air conditioning.

RAPID PLACEMENTPerhaps the biggest benefi t of RCC pavement is that it can be constructed

more quickly and cost-effectively than other pavements. Placed with conventional or high-density paving equipment and compacted with

rollers, RCC eliminates the need for forming and fi nishing. In most cases, it can be completed in one pass. Because of its density and compaction,

RCC can achieve suffi cient load carrying capacity quickly and has, in some instances, been open to traffi c within 24 hours after placement.

AFFORDABILITYLike conventional concrete, RCC is low

maintenance, requiring fewer repairs over its service life, and no seal coating or

resurfacing. It’s also inexpensive to build, comparable or even more affordable to other types of paving. When compared to conventional paving costs, RCC can

provide savings of 25% to 30%.

USESRCC is the concrete of choice for

projects requiring quick placement and an extra degree of strength and

durability. This includes heavy and light industrial areas, logging facilities, ports, arterial roads, and high-speed surfaces

such as highways and airports.

DURABILITYOne of RCC’s great strengths is literally its great strength. Because of its high density,

it can take a tremendous amount of punishment. It’s also resistant to extreme

summer and winter temperatures, and surface contaminants such as fuels,

oils, and solvents, making it perfect for industrial use.
