Precast Concrete Pavement Systems (PCPS) are being used around the nation as alternative pavement treatment for repair, rehabilitation and new construction of PCC Pavements. Ideally suited for work zone lane occupancy restrictions of 12 hours or less, existing distressed PCC panels are removed, the subbase is prepared, and a Precast Concrete Paving Slab is placed, under-sealed, post-tensioned, and ready for traffic within the restrictive lane occupancy time limits - as short as 5 hours. This type of approach helps to accelerate construction sequencing of the project and reduce work zone size while maintaining traffic on adjoining lanes using temporary lane closures.
This showcase featured speakers from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Highways for LIFE (HfL), DelDOT, and contractors associated with the project. Their presentations covered topics ranging from planning to technical aspects of the Rt. 896/US40 project.
