 Frank
plays a pivotal role in the promotion of innovative pavement technologies
in the Southeast. He was directly involved with significant Roller-Compacted
Concrete (RCC) paving projects recently in Tennessee, Alabama and
Georgia, and has put in countless hours in influencing the use of
RCC, pervious concrete, and full-depth reclamation using cement. Frank
has been a motivating force behind the Georgia Concrete & Products
Association RCC Technical Promotion Subcommittee, started in 2004
to bring the ready mix industry in as RCC partners. Frank has actively
participated in developing the RCC Production Fact Sheet, given promotional
support for two RCC production demonstrations, and provided technical
support to countless ready mix producers making RCC for the first
time. Even though RCC has gained popularity in Georgia, few contractors
have been willing to get into the business. In the last two years
Frank has worked closely with contractors to help them recognize the
opportunities and purchase the sophisticated high density equipment
required.
The
most successful of Frank’s numerous pervious concrete and
RCC projects this past year was a 5,300 cubic yard RCC truck lot
for U.S. Gypsum in Bridgeport, Alabama. Frank identified the opportunity,
promoted RCC for the application, encouraged the contractor to use
a high density machine, and worked with the ready mix supplier.
The project was completed early in the year, which allowed many
site visits for potential users. Due to this successful RCC placement,
U.S. Gypsum is considering more RCC in facilities across the United
States.
