PRESENTATION SUMMARY
 
The most innovative pavement in recent history, Roller-Compacted Concrete (RCC) pavement, boasts reduced construction time, impressive production rates, streamlined construction, fast return to service/traffic, low initial costs and a remarkable life-cycle.  With its roots in the logging industry, RCC has quickly become the pavement of choice for industrial applications and is growing steadily for city streets and across many other sectors.  This session will highlight a wide range of applications from the Port of Houston's Bayport Terminal (at 212,000 cubic yards and growing) to the streets of San Angelo.
