NRMCA Senior Director, Local Paving, Ken Justice was a recent guest of the Concrete Council of St. Louis at its 2017 Municipal Pavements Seminar, sponsored by CRD & Associates, Inc. and Concrete Strategies. The seminar concentrated on local issues, including Alkali Carbonate Reactive (ACR), a rare cousin of the more common ASR, as well as Missouri Department of Transportation - MODOT’s update on aggregate acceptance and its alternate bidding and life cycle cost procedures for pavement selection. In addition, the municipalities in the region have formed the Eastern Missouri Pavement Consortium, where concrete mix designs, as well as aggregate sources, can be submitted for approval to one entity instead of to each municipality. This consortium will have standard specifications that can be used throughout the region, regardless of municipality boundary lines.
