Why Do We LOVE Concrete in the Construction Industry?

Concrete Historical Timeline 3000 BC -476 AD

1800s

Late 1800s - Present

Why Concrete for Transportation Systems?

Performance Long service life - 40 years or more Resists oil, chemicals and weather Withstands heavy axle loads without rutting Unaffected by high temperatures

Safety and the Environment Built-in skid resistance and traction Can be grooved for water run-off preventing aquaplaning in wet conditions Even-riding, smooth texture Integral rumble strips can be installed Can be recycled

Construction Fast-track techniques enable early completion Ie: One-pass completion Hot and cold weather placement

Why Concrete for Structures?

VERSATILITY Aesthetic appeal  stamping/finishing options Cost-effectiveness  structure elements can be architectural also Cost-effectiveness & availability

Aesthetics

Other Structural Benefits Reduced sound transmission Fire resistance Lower Energy Costs
