Concrete overlays offer cost-effective, versatile, and long-term solutions for almost any combination of pavement type and condition. They are a sustainable construction practice as well. Many concrete overlays have been in service for decades, extending the life of the original pavement structure for 30 years or more.
• A wide range of overlay thicknesses can be used.
• Existing pavement does not need to be removed and can provide additional structural and load-carrying capacity.
• Concrete overlay projects can be completed as quickly and efficiently as any other paving method.
• They typically last longer than asphalt of the same thickness.
• They are recyclable.
