  12. Phase II Project Plans – Plan View 1,500 LF Total

  13. Phase II Existing Conditions

  14. Phase I/II Project Plans – HMA Section 4” Mill 1- ½” Wearing Course 4” Binder Course 8” Aggregate Base Course

  15. Phase II Project Plans – RCC Section(s) 1- ½” Wearing Course 6” RCC Base 6”-8” Aggregate Base Course

  16. Phase II Construction - 2014

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

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

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

  20. 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

  21. 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

  22. 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)

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

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

  25. PennDOT Pilot Project PennDOT Approval:9/19/2014 Project Start:10/16/2014 Project Complete:10/31/2014

  26. PennDOT Pilot Project Bi-annual reviews: distress assessment per Pub. 336 Reviews to occur on both Phase I and II sections Review to photo document conditions Updated traffic counts (at time of review) Field Evaluation Program

  27. PennDOT Pilot Project Verification of non-movement in subbase (Proof Roll) Nuclear Density Testing: dry density, % compaction and % moisture Compressive Strength: Six Cylinders Tested at 3, 7, and 28 days) Materials Testing Program

  28. PennDOT Pilot Project Nuclear Density Test Results

  29. PennDOT Pilot Project Initial Testing Results 28 7 3

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