Leading U.S. Real Estate Developer Considering Concrete for Northeast Projects

NRMCA Senior National Resource Director Phil Kresge and Art Crouse from NRMCA Producer member Berks Products recently met with representatives from Hillwood Investment Properties to discuss concrete pavement options for projects in the Northeast region. They provided Hillwood executives with a pavement recommendation for their West Hills Business Center project from NRMCA’s Design Assistance Program (DAP). Additionally, they answered questions about both conventional and Roller-Compacted Concrete pavement.

The Hillwood development director said he has used concrete pavement on many other projects across the country and he prefers concrete in most cases. The West Hills project was originally designed in asphalt on recommendations from local geotechnical engineers. He agreed to forward the DAP recommendations to the geotech for review.
