Issues to Consider 1. Funding 2. Durability 3. Utility Maintenance 4. Traffic Volumes 5. Access During Curing 6. Benefits & QA/QC

Issues to Consider Funding: Issues with Liquid Fuel • Not initially recognized for use

Issues to Consider Funding: Issues with Liquid Fuel • Not initially recognized for use in Penn. DOTfunded projects • Township mandated to use Liquid Fuels due to PIB loan requirements • Pilot Project approval required to advance on original schedule

Issues to Consider Durability vs. Bituminous Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC)

Issues to Consider Durability vs. Bituminous Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC)

Issues to Consider Durability • Township Adopted Five -Year Road Master Plan to Fund

Issues to Consider Durability • Township Adopted Five -Year Road Master Plan to Fund Street Projects • Enhanced Design Life Appealed to Township • Provides Opportunity to Gain Ground on Road Conditions

Issues to Consider Traffic Volumes • • Peanut Drive • Low volume • Opportunities

Issues to Consider Traffic Volumes • • Peanut Drive • Low volume • Opportunities to consider eliminating HMA Wearing Course Oxford Avenue • Future project high volume • Overall traffic heavy truck volume

Issues to Consider Utility Maintenance • Township altering protocol for street cut restoration by

Issues to Consider Utility Maintenance • Township altering protocol for street cut restoration by utilities (after RCC) • Additional planning and longer lead times to upgrade and maintain utilities (ahead of RCC placement)

Issues to Consider Access during Curing • HMA: soon as mat has cooled •

Issues to Consider Access during Curing • HMA: soon as mat has cooled • RCC: recommended three day cure period

Issues to Consider Benefits & QA/QC • Ability to bridge weaker (Karst) areas in

Issues to Consider Benefits & QA/QC • Ability to bridge weaker (Karst) areas in Township • Contractor availability/qualifications

Penn. DOT Pilot Project Municipal Summary/Takeaways 1. Useful material to provide a durable road

Penn. DOT Pilot Project Municipal Summary/Takeaways 1. Useful material to provide a durable road section for municipalities 2. Requires careful planning compared to HMA (access, utility, cost, and traffic volumes) 3. May provide a more “stable” unit cost for limited road budgets 4. Shows impressive early strength results (potential to be a better long-term investment)
