concrete overlys, come out on top!!!

Looking for a way to get out of that perpetual maintenance cycle?

Concrete Overlays are todays engineering solution to many of the problems facing owners:

• First, going with a 20 year, 4 inch overlay is both cost affective in the short term, and extensively so in the long term
• Going with concrete allows for 20 years without impacting your customers with pavement maintenance
• By using the existing asphalt as a superior base, you are wasting nothing by engineering the two materials to complement each other
• You are creating a brighter surface that magnifies the street lighting, whereby making the area feel safer in the twilight hours

• Albedo is an expression of the ability of surfaces to reflect sunlight (heat from the sun)
• FABULOUS for high pedestrian usage areas like playground, rec centers, retail parking lots, etc.
• Light-colored surfaces return a large part of the sunrays back to the atmosphere (high albedo)
• Dark surfaces absorb the rays from the sun (low albedo)
