The Fast-Track to Durable Concrete
Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) Paving the Way with Roller Compacted Concrete RCC is like conventional concrete in that it is composed of the same elements; aggregates, cement and water, but it is a much drier mixture. Conveniently placed, RCC is laid with typical high-density asphalt paving equipment. It is widely used today in industrial applications and is gaining acceptance as a cost-effective paving material for roadways and parking lots. RCC can be constructed quicker and more costeffectively than conventional Portland cement concrete and multiple-lift asphalt pavements.
RCC requires minimal maintenance with no shoving, rutting or pot holing.
Due to the light surface color of RCC pavements, lighting needs for parking and storage areas are reduced.

Benefits of Using Roller Compacted Concrete
Economically RCC is often the most affordable pavement to construct and compares favorably in life cycle cost analyses.
RCC is faster to construct compared to asphalt pavements with equivalent structural capacity.
RCC’s speed of construction lowers cost and provides early opening to traffic.
RCC delivers a durable surface with high strength and low permeability.
RCC does not soften due to temperature and resists hydraulic and fuel spills.
