Precast pavement can help you get in, get out, and stay out.

Precast pavement

Precast pavement is a unique solution for pavement construction that utilizes prefabricated concrete panels. It is used primarily for rehabilitation or reconstruction of existing pavement but can also be used for as new construction as well. Well over 100 lane-miles of precast concrete pavement systems (PCPS) have been constructed in the U.S. and Canada since 2001.

Get In, Get Out

Transportation agencies are under increasing pressure to minimize lane closures and disruption of traffic during peak travel times, particularly in urban areas. Many are seeking solutions that will permit pavement rehabilitation and reconstruction in as little as four hours! While some conventional paving materials can work for these short closures, precast concrete pavement will help ensure that you stay out.

Stay Out

It’s not enough to fix a pavement quickly. If you are looking for more than just a temporary fix, you need something that will last. Precast concrete has proven to be a durable, high performance solution for pavements.

Key Considerations

When repairing or reconstructing concrete pavements, consider implementing precast pavement concrete systems (PCPS) for projects requiring a quick turnaround, such as overnight repairs that must be open to traffic by morning. Other key factors include the design, fabrication, and construction of the precast panels.

Precast Concrete Pavement Systems

The two most common precast concrete pavement systems (PCPS) are Jointed Precast Pavement Systems (JPPS) and Precast Prestressed Concrete Pavement (PPCP). These innovative systems offer superior durability and efficiency, making them ideal choices for modern construction projects.

Precast Pavement Applications

Precast concrete pavement systems offer versatile solutions for rehabilitation, reconstruction, and new construction, particularly in urban areas and projects requiring minimal lane closures. They are also ideal for temporary pavements, bridge approach slabs, intersections, airfields, and areas with limited overhead clearance, providing cost-effective, reusable, and rapid installation options.
