Project 3: Interstate Highway Extension

The following project demonstrates typical construction using CCPs.
This project was discussed in detail in the June 14, 1999 issue of Rocky Mountain Construction Magazine (Vol. 80, No. 11).

 

 

The contractor received CCPs in a variety of trucks, including end-dumps, live bottoms, and belly dumps.

 

A motorized blader or front end loader then spread the fly ash and/or bottom ash, mixing it with the native materials delivered seperately.

 

Water trucks and rubber-tired compactors finished the placement process.

 



The more than 120,000 tons of CCPs were placed in lifts 8 to 10 inches high. The fill, approximately 40 feet high and 1,000 feet long was then finished and paved.
