MTO & Dufferin Road
This trial was a collaboration between Holcim Canada Inc., Dufferin Construction, Pontarolo Engineering Inc., and the Centre for Pavement and Transportation Technology (CPATT) at the University of Waterloo. The goal was to assess the feasibility of using CUPOLEX® in road and highway applications as a concrete pavement technology. The CUPOLEX® pavements were constructed in Milton, Ontario using a 300 mm (12’’) granular base; a 260 mm (10’’) CUPOLEX® unit; and 150 or 175 mm (6’’ or 7’’) of concrete, depending on the location along the road. The pavement strength was found to be approximately equivalent to a 250 mm (10’’) thick conventional jointed plain concrete pavement. This reduces concrete consumption by approximately 20% which saves clients money.
