Benefits of Using Concrete Overlays
The fast installation of concrete overlays can be completed with minimal disruption to traffic. In fact, many concrete overlays can be opened to traffic in one day or less.
Existing pavement can be left in place to serve as a contribution to the new compositepavement section.
Sustainable concrete overlays recycle most, if not all, existing pavement by recycling and reusing it as a composite pavement layer.
Maintenance costs for concrete overlays is very low relative to asphalt alternatives.
Concrete overlays are available in both short and long-term solution designs.
