Conventional Concrete

• RCC proved to be a substantial savings to PPL.
• The project also featured full-depth reclamation for the base.

Built into a hillside, ICF construction met the challenge of this project site.

Unique pattern and color make this pervious concrete pad stand out.

The project featured tilt-up concrete construction as well as pervious and roller compacted concrete pavements.

Pervious concrete was selected because it offered a life-cycle cost advantage over asphalt.

Pervious concrete allowed the addition to be built, while maintaining impervious cover limits.

The building features Insulating Concrete Form (ICF) construction.

• First RCC street project placed in Pennsylvania.
• RCC proved to be the most cost effective alternative.

• RCC selected to meet the demanding pavement needs for this inter-modal facility.
• Fast-tracked projects sees 35,000 cubic yards of concrete placed in 22 days.

• These homeowners wanted to build a "sustainable" home. Decorative concrete helpd them achieve their goal.
• Pennsylvania Aggregates and Concrete Association 2012 Residential Project of the Year.

RCC placement met pavement load requirements and need for quick construction turn-around.

• 1.7 million square foot tilt-up project also incorporated 45,000 cubic yards of RCC.
• Challenging soil conditions met through cement stabilization.

• Project incorporated PennDOT RCC specifications.
• First municipal RCC project in Pennsylvania to receive Liquid Fuels funding.

• Project totaled 3000 cubic yards of concrete.
• Lighting and maintenance costs reduced by using concrete.
• Pennsylvania Aggregates and Concrete Association 2014 Decorative Project of the Year - Commercial

Concrete was the answer for the severe rutting that the street was experiencing.

• Pennsylvania Aggregates and Concrete Association 2014 Commercial Project of the Year - Buildings
• 1,000,000 sft. tilt-up concrete project.
• Required 40,000 cubic yards of concrete.

• Homeowners wanted a maintenance-free, natural looking enhancement for their swimming pool.
• Decorative concrete was chosen to meet their needs.
• Pennsylvania Aggregates and Concrete Association 2014 Decorative Project of the Year - Residential

• Township needed a long-lasting solution to improve deteriorated roadway
• The 200-cubic-yard roadway was completed and opened to traffic in 24 hours
• RCC delivered taxpayer cost-savings of 65%

• Growing manufacturing business turned to RCC for increased efficiency
• RCC with spray asphalt seal helps melt ice and snow to alleviate winter weather maintenance
• RCC upgrades 19,000-square-foot gravel lot to provide durability under heavy truck traffic

• Pennsylvania’s first virtual pipeline needed a durable terminal
• Newly paved 29,000 square feet will withstand heavy truck traffic
• RCC contributed to quick construction timeline

• Durable design helps manage maintenance costs.
• ICF construction adds environmental sustainability.
• Project timeline aided by ICF use.

• Heavy Pavement Loadings Demand Tough Pavement
• Lighter colored concrete pavement is more reflective and requires fewer lights

• The environmentally sensitive area required a pavement solution that fit its natural surroundings
• Pervious concrete will allow potential stormwater runoff to now percolate through the pavement and into the ground

• ICF construction helps reduce gas costs over 65%
• Performance of ICF's proves their merit

• Townhouse project constructed with Insulating Concrete Forms
• Includes concrete street and driveways

• Truck traffic at the facility would require a durable pavement, and long service life.
• The owner was seeking value for their money.

• 1.7 million square foot tilt-up project also incorporated 45,000 cubic yards of RCC.
• Challenging soil conditions met through cement stabilization.

• With as many as 250 trucks per day using the facility, a durable pavement was a priority
• A quick project turnaround allowed the company to minimize any downtime at the facility

• Heavy truck traffic required strong, durable paving solution
• Company’s successful history sing Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) drove decision to utilize RCC for the project

• Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) provide an energy efficient alternative to conventional building materials
• Lumber price volatility is a challenge to today's builder

• ICF's were chosen over stick framing, modular, and pole building construction options
• Concrete roof will serve as floor system for vertical expansion of building

Project is one of only eight strong walls in the US, and the only one poured monolithically
