In the terms of concrete and cement terms, roller concrete is concrete that is compressed by the roller movement on hardened concrete. Condensed roller concrete has the same properties as conventional poured and processed concrete. Roller concrete is used in the construction of weights and dams, base layers for heavy loads and high traffic areas such as ports and customs.
Benefits of roller concrete:
- Technical and practical: Provides strength, durability and loadability of pavement, as well as lower susceptibility to concrete chemicals such as gasoline, diesel and corrosive materials, better performance in high temperature environments, no saturation problems.
- Economical: By using concrete surfaces, the average cost of construction, operation and maintenance will be reduced by 25 to 50 percent compared to asphalt surfaces. Reduce costs in general due to lower cost of construction due to lower cost of consumables, lower maintenance and repair costs during operation, lower operating costs such as depreciation of vehicles and tires, time spent traveling, costs The accidents are due to incomplete procedural performance, fuel consumption costs, as well as increased lifespan and reduced procedural renewal costs.
- Implementation speed and cost savings: The RCCP's fast execution method reduces costs significantly compared to conventional concrete. Reducing the execution time in addition to the technical issues creates a major advantage, namely the economics of the project in the interaction with time.
- Environmental: One of the fundamental principles in the manufacture of roller concrete is the full utilization of available natural materials and local bond resources. Due to the savings in the use of materials in concrete layers, less damage to natural resources and the environment will occur.
