Rohrer's Quarry - RCC job Lititz, PA - Mid Atlantic Concrete Equipment

Roller-compacted concrete, or RCC, takes its name from the construction method used to build it. It's placed with conventional or high-density asphalt paving equipment, then compacted with rollers.

But unlike conventional concrete, it's a drier mix—stiff enough to be compacted by vibratory rollers. Typically, RCC is constructed without joints. It needs neither forms nor finishing, nor does it contain dowels or steel reinforcing.

These qualities have taken roller-compacted concrete from specialized applications to mainstream pavement. Today, RCC is used for any type of industrial or heavy-duty pavement. The reason is simple. RCC has the strength and performance of conventional concrete with the economy and simplicity of asphalt. Coupled with long service life and minimal maintenance, RCC's low initial cost adds up to economy and value.

The high strength of RCC pavements eliminates common and costly problems traditionally associated with asphalt pavements.
RCC pavements:

Resist rutting
Span soft localized subgrades
Will not deform under heavy, concentrated loads
Do not deteriorate from spills of fuels and hydraulic fluids
Will not soften under high temperatures
