ROLLER COMPACTED CONCRETE

BIRCO Environmental's high capacity, portable pug mill plant makes us a unique provider of Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) in Canada. RCC contains similar ingredients to traditional concrete but in significantly different ratios. This blend requires no forms, finishing, or steel reinforcement and has an ultra tough surface with high compressive strengths.

RCC Benefits

RCC Services

Environmentally Conscious
- BIRCO Environmental's pug mill plant and in-house mix designs allows us to introduce a wide range of recycled materials into our RCC, as needed
Durablity
- Can withstand heavy/repetitive loads, deterioration from
  fuel and hydraulic spills
- Performs well in freeze-thaw climates
Low Maintenance
- Does not require surface sealing or overlays
- Due to its strength, requires little upkeep
Construction
- Does not require any forms or finishing
- Can often be fully constructed and open for use in as little as 4 hours after placement, with heavy use in as little as
  24-48 hours
Heat and Lighting
- Light grey color helps reduce the urban heat island effect
Strength
- High felxural, compressive and shear strength tailored to project specific applications
Ingredient Ratio
- Low water to content results in zero slump concrete
Cost Efficient
- Requires less cement material than traditional concrete, which is usually the most expensive component of traditional concrete

Mix Design
- We meet with you to determine/discuss project requirements
- We create a custom mix design in our lab
- We share the lab results with you to determine an economical and structurally effective solution
RCC Mixing
- Our high capacity, portable pug mill plant will mix the RCC material based on the mix design
- Mixing can be done on or offsite at a speed tailored to project timelines
RCC Lay Down
- Based on the project scope, we can lay down the RCC
  or work alongside one of our project contractors
