Bayport Terminal Complex
Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) was chosen as a durable and cost-effective alternative to Portland Cement Concrete concrete pavement for a new container yard designed to withstand heavy loading conditions. The project encompassed an impressive 144,000 square yards of 18-inch RCC pavement and 61,000 square yards of 14-inch RCC pavement, totaling 95,575 cubic yards of RCC.
High production efficiency was a key highlight, with RCC placement rates consistently exceeding 400 cubic yards per hour and peak daily outputs surpassing 3,000 cubic yards per shift. This efficiency ensured the project stayed on schedule without compromising quality.
To achieve the required surface smoothness tolerance, the entire pavement was meticulously micro-milled, providing a seamless finish. Interestingly, the Port of Houston Authority (POHA) opted against saw-cutting joints, allowing the pavement to crack naturally. This approach has proven successful, with the POHA expressing high satisfaction with their first RCC project. Their confidence in RCC has since led to the commissioning of over ten additional RCC paving projects at the Bayport and Barbour’s Cut terminals.
