Implementation of NGCS in the North Split Project
The deployment of next generation concrete surface (NGCS) technology in the North Split project involved several key stages. Planning and design along with material and construction. The benefits of NGCS technology is noise reduction, improved safety and enhanced smoothness. The North Split project in Indiana serves as a benchmark for the successful implementation of NGCS technology in large-scale infrastructure projects.

Buried Treasure Results in Road Improvement Savings: Uncover Value with CPP
With steady increase in asphalt prices over the years, the mill and overlay option is becoming far too expensive. Diamond grinding of pavement surfaces often meet and exceed the smoothness, friction and noise characteristics of the best asphalt surface treatments and can be half the cost of an asphalt overlay. The Buried Treasure concept using concrete pavement preservation (CPP) is a sound integration of engineering, economics and the environment.

Tech Brief - July 2024 - Proper Joint Preparation
To seal or not to seal has been a question for more than a quarter century. Joint sealing has been a process in constructing concrete pavements for over a hundred years, yet the challenge of quality installation continues. The purpose of joint sealing is to reduce the amount of water entering a pavement structure and to prevent the filling of joints with incompressible materials.
