White Topping Concrete

UltraTech White Topping was developed to address these critical issues and make city roads safer and pothole-free. In essence, White Topping is a Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) overlay that is constructed on top of an existing bituminous road. This overlay acts as a long-term alternative for the rehabilitation or structural strengthening of roads.

Advantages

• Prevents rutting, structural cracks and potholes, which provides a safer and faster commute.
• Improves the structural capacity of existing bitumen pavements.
• Initial budget is slightly more than bitumen roads but the life-cycle cost is far lower than both bitumen and concrete roads.
• With a turnaround time of just 14 days, it’s much faster than the turnaround time for concrete roads.
• Improves visibility and commuter safety at night by enhancing light reflectance. This reduces the illumination load of any road, thus saving energy (20-30%).
• Reduces pavement deflection, resulting in less vehicular fuel consumption (10-15%) and thus, reduced emissions.
• Lowers vehicular braking distance, making it safer in both dry and wet surface conditions.
• Reduces the urban heat island effect by absorbing less heat, in turn lowering the energy consumption for air conditioning in urban buildings.
• White Topped pavement is 100% recyclable and can be crushed and reused at the end of life.
