The Connecticut Army National Guard is propelling its ground maintenance repair capabilities into the 21st Century by constructing a new $29 million central repair facility at Camp Hartell in Windsor Locks which includes over 5,000 yards of concrete pavement, according to NRMCA Producer member Tilcon. With the responsibility for managing and repairing the Guard’s more than 700 vehicles and thousands of pieces of specialized equipment, the facility, a LEED Silver project, chose concrete pavement because of its durability, lower maintenance costs and its Solar Reflectance Index.

NRMCA is seeking other opportunities like this one in all regions of the country, said NRMCA’s Senior Director, National Resources, Doug O’Neill. "The opportunities for our industry to compete are expanding at many military bases and NRMCA can play a role in helping develop competitive specifications for pavements.
