18. Issues to Consider 1. Funding 2. Durability 3. Utility Maintenance 4.
Traffic Volumes 5.
Access During Curing 6.
Benefits & QA/QC

19. Funding: Issues with Liquid Fuel
Issues to Consider
Funding: Issues with Liquid Fuel
Not initially recognized for use in PennDOT- funded projects
Township mandated to use Liquid Fuels due to PIB loan requirements
Pilot Project approval required to advance on original schedule

20. Issues to Consider Durability vs. Bituminous Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA)
Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC)

21. Issues to Consider Durability
Township Adopted Five-Year Road Master Plan to Fund Street Projects
Enhanced Design Life Appealed to Township
Provides Opportunity to Gain Ground on Road Conditions
Can you just put traditional vs. RCC or HMA vs. RCC?

22. Issues to Consider Traffic Volumes Peanut Drive Oxford Avenue
Low volume
Opportunities to consider eliminating HMA Wearing Course
Oxford Avenue
Future project high volume
Overall traffic heavy truck volume

23. Issues to Consider Utility Maintenance
Township altering protocol for street cut restoration by utilities (after RCC)
Additional planning and longer lead times to upgrade and maintain utilities (ahead of RCC placement)

24. Issues to Consider Access during Curing HMA: soon as mat has cooled
RCC: recommended three day cure period

25. Issues to Consider Benefits & QA/QC
Ability to bridge weaker (Karst) areas in Township
Contractor availability/qualifications

26. PennDOT Pilot Project PennDOT Approval: 9/19/2014
Project Start: 10/16/2014
Project Complete: 10/31/2014

27. Field Evaluation Program
PennDOT Pilot Project
Field Evaluation Program
Bi-annual reviews: distress assessment per Pub. 336
Reviews to occur on both Phase I and II sections
Review to photo document conditions
Updated traffic counts (at time of review)

28. Materials Testing Program
PennDOT Pilot Project
Materials Testing Program
Verification of non- movement in subbase (Proof Roll)
Nuclear Density Testing: dry density, % compaction and % moisture
Compressive Strength: Six Cylinders Tested at 3, 7, and 28 days)

31. Municipal Summary/Takeaways
PennDOT Pilot Project
Municipal Summary/Takeaways
Useful material to provide a durable road section for municipalities
Requires careful planning compared to HMA (access, utility, cost, and traffic volumes)
May provide a more “stable” unit cost for limited road budgets
Shows impressive early strength results (potential to be a better long-term investment)
