A cost-benefit analysis resulted in over 56,000 SY of a 4 in. concrete
overlay on the existing deteriorated asphalt parking lots—including
some full depth replacement—for the convention center and attached
hotel. The concrete overlay was placed with a laser screed using GPS
to guarantee the matching of proposed grades.
This project was comprised of four alternate bid segments of a 27
mile stretch of new-terrain Interstate 69 in Indiana. The project scope
included placement of 564,644 SY of mostly 10.5 in. thick mainline
concrete pavement.
This 3.2-mile section on Interstate 72 just east of Springfield, Ill.,
represents the first structural fiber reinforced unbonded concrete
overlay in Illinois and the first known use of structural macro-fiber on
any Interstate in the country.
The existing corridor was widened from a three-lane facility with
inconsistent shoulders to a five-lane facility with bike lanes and
shoulders. The pavement consists of 9 in. of jointed plain concrete with
tied concrete shoulders. A stringless paving system was use to provide
greater control and productivity.
The 12.5 mile long, 4 in. thick unbonded concrete overlay project
included nine full-depth sections. Even though there were 248 vertical
curves along the project with cross slopes varying from 1.5 percent
to 4 percent, the contractor attained over 65 percent of the available
smoothness incentive.
This project involved the reconstruction of almost seven miles of the
westbound lanes of Interstate 280 adjacent to Davenport, Iowa. The
contractor placed 111,000 SY of 11 in. thick jointed concrete pavement
with tied concrete shoulders, while earning the maximum thickness and
mix bonus and 46 percent of the smoothness bonus.
The 4.2 mile long, 6 in. thick unbonded concrete overlay project on SR
50 was bid as an alternative pavement with the option of crack and seat
with a bituminous overlay or a 6 in. unbonded concrete overlay. The $19
million unbonded concrete overlay prevailed over the two bituminous
bids by well over $2 million.
The project involved the reconstruction
and expansion of 1.6 miles of a six lane
concrete roadway with six signalized
intersections in a heavily traveled
corridor in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. Just
under 100,000 SY of 8.5 in. thick jointed
plain concrete pavement was placed
on schedule, under budget and with
minimal public disruption.
