Central Freight Yard Long Term Study

Cost-effective and durable, roller-compacted concrete (RCC) pavement is laying a solid foundation for a number of significant projects for the Port of Houston Authority (PHA). By 2020, the Port is expected to have 380 acres of mostly 18-inch-thick RCC, making it the largest RCC site in the U.S. For perspective, a similar amount of RCC would fill a 6-inch-thick single lane road stretching more than 800 miles across Texas from Orange to El Paso.
