Roller Compacted Concrete
Cost effective alternative to traditional concrete, Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) offers the benefits of traditional concrete for certain applications at a lower cost and faster speed of construction.
stay on schedule and budget
PRS has more experience with large-scale RCC work than any other contractor in California, and our commitment to always put the Customer and product quality first mean that we will not compromise our integrity or the integrity of the end-product for short-term gain. RCC is extremely sensitive to environmental and material changes, and experience and constant close observation during construction is critical to ensure that the product is consistent and of high quality.
Our RCC plant complies with the most stringent of California Air Quality laws and regulations.
YOUR IDEAL SOLUTION
RCC is an ideal solution for pavement sections expecting heavy loading over sustained time periods, such as trucking/logistics facilities and warehouses, port loading areas, and heavy industrial neighborhood roads, but is also an effective solution for lighter traffic roadways when factoring in the extended design life.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
- No reinforcement is necessary, and compressive strengths can be adjusted as necessary based on individual project needs to provide adequate structural capacity.
- Typically, design life for an RCC pavement will range from 30-50 years with appropriate maintenance.
- RCC is commonly used in combination with soil stabilization or cement-treated base as the underlying layer directly beneath the RCC. This provides a significantly longer design lift, and greatly reduces the chance of differential settlement below the RCC which could lead to premature cracking.
- Surface texture can be modified depending on the end-user’s preferences. Options include diamond grinding for a more textured surface or finishing with trowels or brooms for a smoother surface. RCC can also be overlaid with a thin lift of HMA or other surfacing to further increase the design life of the pavement section.
