Contraction. Construction. Isolation. Three simple words for ensuring both the durability and safety of concrete pavements.

Ask a PaveAhead engineer how proper jointing, along with quality material, design, and construction practices, can ensure your concrete pavement project is built to last!

According to a study from the Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering, properly placed joints can reduce the likelihood of cracking by up to 90%.

Comprehensive guidance on the WHAT, WHY, and HOW of jointing concrete pavements can be found in Jointing Concrete. Learn more: https://ow.ly/mjT850XxAco

Cooler temperatures. Stunning foliage. Fewer crowds. 🍁

It’s a fantastic time for hiking and cycling – especially on concrete trails! 🚴🥾

Concrete trails are a durable, cost-effective option for recreational and transportation pathways, enhancing community infrastructure and promoting healthy lifestyles.

✈️ 🚧 Concrete, Collaboration, and Innovation at One of America’s Busiest Airports – National Ready Mixed Concrete Association's Greg Halsted recently met with engineers at Denver International Airport to discuss sustainable paving solutions and tour two major active construction sites: https://ow.ly/tpss50Wybn4

"One major focal point was the importance of collaborative project assistance among NRMCA, ready mixed concrete suppliers, paving contractors and the owner/architect/engineer community. It was apparent that DEN engineers were pleased to be included as part of the process, Halsted said. Jamie Johnson, the new executive director of the Colorado/Wyoming Chapter of ACPA, was also on hand to offer his association’s support and assistance with concrete paving."

Whew! Baby, it’s HOT outside! ☀️

It’s summertime, and the livin’ is easy – even when paving with concrete!

Steps can be taken to ensure concrete pavement is NOT adversely affected by high temperatures: https://bit.ly/3IyOGd7

The WHAT, WHY, and HOW of paving in hot weather can be found in Concrete in Practice (CIP) 12 – Hot Weather Concreting!
