Virginia Transportation Officials Learn of Concrete Options for SLR Maintenance/Rehab

NRMCA Senior National Resource Director Phil Kresge recently met with county maintenance officials from the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) to discuss concrete overlays as a maintenance option for existing asphalt streets and intersections. Kresge explained the mechanics of concrete overlays and reviewed the various types, focusing particularly on bonded overlays of asphalt pavements. Additionally, he highlighted several projects that had been completed over the last 20 years in Pennsylvania and Iowa. He closed by introducing NRMCA’s Design Assistance Program and encouraged VDOT to take advantage of the free service.

Also at the meeting were Stan Bland, pavement applications specialist for PCA Southeast, and David Stowell from Slurry Pavers, Inc., who gave a joint presentation on Full-Depth Reclamation. Bland also provided information on Roller-Compacted Concrete (RCC). The meeting was facilitated by Hessam Nabavi of the Virginia Ready-Mixed Concrete Association.
