Also known as “whitetopping” concrete overlays offer cost-effective versatile long- and short-term maintenance strategies for repair and maintenance of asphalt, concrete and composite pavements. Whether bonded or unbonded, concrete overlays are a durable rehabilitation tool extending the service life of a pavement often increasing its load-carrying capacity. Enhanced light reflectivity and high albedo of concrete help reduce the heat island effect making concrete overlays a sustainable choice for pavement surfaces.
