High Scale Infrastructure

We believe that we can make a tremendous difference by helping to build affordable housing and better, more modern, and durable community infrastructure such as roads and sidewalks, schools, hospitals, parks, and other public spaces.
The intelligent use of concrete as a building material can reduce key environmental impacts that contribute to climate change and other significant environmental issues. Concrete’s inherent properties—extreme durability, rigidity, and high reflectivity—make it ideal for large scale infrastructure projects.
When we participate in the development of large scale infrastructure projects, a primary focus is on concrete paving for roads, highways and sidewalks, buildings, schools, hospital, parks, and public spaces.
Concrete pavements, as compared to those built with asphalt, offer the following potential benefits:

• Greater Durability: Since concrete pavements can be designed to last over 40 years, concrete is the best long-term pavement solution.
• Better Traffic Flows: The durability of concrete minimizes the need for extensive repairs or annual maintenance of roads and highways, thereby avoiding traffic problems for their users. When repairs are necessary, they are typically smaller in scope than those for asphalt pavements.
• Reduced Life Cycle Costs: Although the initial investment in concrete pavements is marginally higher than asphalt pavements, concrete pavements require less maintenance over their lifetime, making them the more cost-effective solution.
• Reduced Temperature: Concrete pavements provide reflective surfaces that minimize the “urban heat island” effect.
• Better Light Reflection: Concrete reflects 33 percent to 50 percent more light than asphalt. This is especially important for driving safely at night and for reducing street lighting costs.
• Reduced Rolling Resistance: Due to its rigidity, concrete paving offers significantly less resistance for a vehicle’s wheels to roll. Consequently, concrete paving requires lower fuel consumption for vehicles traveling faster than 30 km/h, compared to a flexible pavement such as asphalt. On any given roadway where concrete is used, the higher the traffic volumes, the greater the savings in fuel consumption.
• Increased Safety: Concrete pavements reduce the probability of road accidents. They not only provide better visibility at night, but also are easily textured during construction to create a surface that provides superior traction and a quiet ride.
