Concrete in Transportation

Portland Cement Concrete Pavements provide the most durable pavement alternative available with the lowest life-cycle cost. They have been in use for over 100 years in the United States and new technological advances such as rapid strength concrete, innovative concrete pavement rehabilitation techniques, and ultra-thin whitetopping (to see video click here) make high performance ready-mixed concrete the best choice for our country's infrastructure whether in the form of highways, streets, intersections (see 72 hour intersection reconstruction case study video by clicking here {note: 30mb file}), airports or ports. The American Concrete Pavement Association - Southwest Chapter (ACPA-SW) is dedicated to providing the most up-to-date and relevant educational materials for Public Agencies and Private Industry alike. The focus of the ACPA-SW includes the following areas: HIGHWAYS MAINSTREET USA STREETS & INTERSECTIONS AIRPORTS PORTS
Highways Instrumental in organizing training workshops for members on diverse subjects related to the improvement and rehabilitation of the states’ highways, ACPA-SW seeks to promote local issues at the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) level.
Mainstreet USA Seminars and demonstrations are conducted regularly by ACPA-SW for the improvement of concrete pavement of streets and local roads. Also please visit the Caltrans and NDOT websites.
