A great video from our friends at American Concrete Pavement Association! We left Phoenix feeling more empowered and inspired. Our own Nick Davis summed up how we will hit the ground running in 2025..."Get up. Get active. And emerge!" https://ow.ly/i2Xp50UuWtF

Rut repair is essential in maintaining the smoothness and safety of #concrete #pavement. Ruts can lead to water accumulation and increased wear on vehicles. Repairing these ruts helps restore the pavement's profile, improving ride quality and reducing the risk of hydroplaning. This process is a key part of pavement preservation, as it addresses surface irregularities that can lead to more significant structural issues if left unattended. A promising repair material, calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) #cement, is a cost-effective, easy-to-use and longer-lasting repair material to remediate pavement ruts. Rut repair contributes to the overall goal of CPP to extend the service life of pavements, improve safety, and reduce the need for more extensive and costly repairs.

We are equally thankful for the amazing partnership we have with the American Concrete Pavement Association! We're looking forward to continuing our collaboration in 2025, including our work with the Emerging Leaders Group for the next generation of concrete paving contractors and industry leaders. 

We are partnering with calcium sulphoaluminate (CSA) cement manufacturers CTS Cement Manufacturing Corporation and FasTrac Construction Products to promote and grow the #concrete #pavement patching, preservation and restoration market for our members. CSA cement, known for its fast-setting and high-strength development, is used in concrete applications for bridges, runways and road repairs. Not only does CSA cement set quickly and increase the strength of concrete, but it also helps remove shrinkage and has a low carbon footprint. Learn more here: https://ow.ly/mr0W50UonNu
