Texas State Highway 99—Grand Parkway

rcdev — Wed, 11 Nov 2020 22:00:16 +0000

State Highway 99, also known as the Grand Parkway, is one of the largest modern infrastructure projects in Texas. Rollcon supplied the cement-treated base to build 54 miles of four-lane roads extending from northwest side of Houston and connecting it to Highway 59 and the Houston Ship Channel. For such an important project for the city and region, Rollcon was chosen to execute the CTB placement due to our expertise in zero-slump placements. The roadways we executed demonstrated one-percent yield and elevation tolerances within an eighth of an inch for an extremely smooth rideability.

Louisiana Department of Transportation—Lafayette Parish

Rollcon provided new pavement to replace failing roadways in Lafayette Parish as a test trial for the City of Lafayette. These roads constitute the very first roadways in Louisiana constructed out of roller compacted concrete. The new roads were placed in one day to demonstrate RCC’s superior durability over time, even when exposed to heavy traffic in the unforgiving Louisiana heat.

Rollcon donated a test section of RCC roadway to the Louisiana Department of Transportation’s research center so the agency could study the structural performance and load-carrying capacity of RCC-surfaced pavements under accelerated pavement testing (APT). Various in-situ pavement testing and instrumentation were employed to monitor load-induced pavement responses and pavement surface cracking under the ATLaS loading. The study concluded with a recommendation that the state’s Pavement Design Section implement thin RCC-surfaced pavement structure for DOTD’s low-volume roadways where heavy (and overloaded) trucks are often encountered.

Colony Ridge Development

Colony Ridge is a large residential development in East Texas that includes multiple subdivisions. Thanks to years of work put in by the experienced team at Rollcon, Colony Ridge is now the largest RCC-street subdivision in the nation. Rollcon placed 86 miles of 24-feet-wide, 5” roller compacted concrete roads. The highly durable pavement was chosen by the developer instead of asphalt thanks to the long-term maintenance cost savings it provided for the county.

Bella Vista

Rollcon provided paving and soil stabilization for more than 10.5 miles of Bella Vista’s neighborhood streets. The Rollcon roller compacted concrete (RCC) paving solution for Bella Vista provided five-inch thick pavement for the project’s more than 1.1 million square feet of roadways. The durability of RCC means Bella Vista’s 22-foot-wide streets can last up to 20 years without failures—more than twice as long as asphalt. RCC provides many other benefits, including minimal labor costs, high strength, low maintenance costs, and next-day traffic. Rollcon, working jointly with the Cement Council of Texas and CEMEX, helped to develop the standards approved for RCC paving in Liberty County.

City of Temple

The City of Temple, Texas needed to rebuild streets in an industrial portion of the town that required a heavy-duty roadway for regular, heavy traffic. The city chose chose roller compacted concrete because it lasts more than twice as long as asphalt, and Rollcon was selected to place it. Due to the speed of RCC’s curing process, the rebuilt streets could be opened to traffic one day after the project’s execution.
