Resiliency

Resiliency
Concrete Stays Strong
Even when submerged, the strength is maintained. Ready to drive on for recovery, little or no down time
Prevent and Protect
Secure against disasters. Concrete will not burn during a fire, ensuring roads can be used during and after a disaster.
Concrete is Rigid
Rigid pavement is more resilient. Recovery time is near immediate.
Saves Energy and Fuel

Saves Energy and Fuel
Concrete Conserves Fuel
Concrete roads rigid structure saves 3-7% in fuel consumption. Less pollution, more miles driven.
Lower Energy Costs to Build
Because concrete is sourced locally and is not petroleum based, it requires less energy to install as well as maintain.
Lower Maintenance =
More Community Happiness
Think about all the time, gas, and energy that is wasted sitting in traffic, rebuilding roads. Concrete lasts 3-5 times longer, minimizing energy waste.
Non-Petroleum Based

Non-Petroleum Based
Environmentally Responsible
Concrete does not require petroleum or petroleum by-products in its manufacturing.
Less Cost Variance
When the price of oil goes up so does petroleum based paving products. Concrete pavement pricing is more stable.
Concrete smells better
Concrete installation is virtually odorless. Providing a safer and more pleasant environment for those who build roads as well as those who live near the paving construction.
Sustainable - CO2 Absorber

Sustainable – CO2 Absorber
Concrete Absorbs CO2
Once concrete cures, it starts to absorb CO2. this helps reduce emissions and helps the environment.
New Cement Technology
Portland Limestone Cement (PCL) reduces CO2 by 10% over traditional manufacturing methods making concrete paving an even cleaner and more sustainable paving solution.
Concrete is 100% Recyclable
Concrete can be re-used in roads as aggregate, as base material, often on site.
Healthy for Cities

Healthy for Cities
Concrete Reduces Heat Island
Concrete does not absorb heat, it helps cities and towns, minimize heat absorption, less smog and related.
Higher Light Reflectivity
Higher reflectivity makes concrete safer. It creates safer environments for drivers as well as pedestrians.
Concrete Lasts Longer
No one likes to see road construction on their street. Concrete roads last 3-5 times longer providing much less construction disruption than other paving systems.
Preferred by the Public

Preferred by the Public
Better ROI on Tax Dollars
Concrete paving has a great return on tax dollars, with minimal additional investment needed for maintenance.
Smoother and Quieter
Concrete provides a first-class riding surface and comfortable, enjoyable (and reliable) driving experience.
Concrete is Safer
Shorter breaking distances, less skidding, safer in wet weather are all attributes that the public appreciates about concrete pavements.
