• Description:
  Beginning with a pilot project in December 2000, the Colorado Department of Transportation, Region 4 (northeast corner of Colorado), pursued the use of precast concrete panels as a means to speed repair of concrete pavements. The outcome of the repair techniques occurring within 8 to 9 hours has provided a means to minimize traffic disruption at peak traffic hours. A description of construction concerns and techniques is included. While a high success rate has occurred with thicker panel depths (8 inches and above), shallower panel depths ( 7 inches and below) have had a higher failure rate than was expected. Panels have been installed in high traffic areas principally I-25 north of Denver. Additional sites with fewer panels have been on US Hwy 287 north of Fort Collins and US Hwy 85 near Greeley.
