摘要

The reconstruction of 2.5 miles of the Grand River Road between Whitmore Lake and Brighton with 9-in. of high-performance concrete pavement marked the first time in more years than anyone at the Livingston County Road Commission can remember that concrete was used on a major road project. Road agencies are choosing concrete over asphalt for several reasons, principal among which are life-cycle cost, speed of construction and low maintenance. "Life-cycle cost analysis tipped the scale for Livingston County on this project," said Jim Marcinkowski, the consulting engineer on the Grand River project from Orchard, Hiltz & McCliment Inc. (OHM) of Livonia, Mich. "Project costs were close between concrete and asphalt, but the longer life cycle of concrete and its low maintenance cost made concrete the better choice for this project." Fluctuations in oil prices and modifications in the refining process have skyrocketed asphalt job pricing, said Dan DeGraaf, executive director and chief executive officer for the Michigan Concrete Paving Association. Because most state, county and municipal projects are designed and bid over a several-month period during which the per-ton price of asphalt can double or even triple, budgeting for an asphalt project has become tricky at best. DeGraaf pointed to the experience of many agencies who this past summer were forced to cancel several asphalt jobs because of the higher price.
