Virginia City Learns about Concrete Parking Lots

Representatives from the Department of Public Works and City Engineering Department of Hampton, VA, recently attended a "lunch and learn" presentation hosted by the Hampton Roads Council of the Virginia Ready-Mixed Concrete Association (VRMCA). NRMCA Senior Director, National Resources, Phil Kresge was the featured speaker, presenting a combination of two NRMCA presentations: The Quantifiable Advantages of Concrete Parking Lots and ACI 330: The Gold Standard in Parking Lot Design. The meeting was facilitated by VRMCA’s Director of Industry Services Ann-Germaine Danz.

Kresge began his presentation by highlighting the benefits of concrete parking lots, but the majority of his program addressed the why’s and how’s of using ACI 330 for proper design. Additionally, Kresge spoke about concrete overlays of existing asphalt parking lots and introduced the attendees to The Guide to Concrete Overlays of Asphalt Parking Lots; the definitive guide from the National Concrete Pavement Technology Center and the RMC Research & Education Foundation.
