Whitetopping

Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-030412

Whitetopping is a cool paving technique in which an existing pavement is covered by a layer of light-colored concrete. Usually, whitetopping involves adding a four- to eight-inch-thick layer over the asphalt base. However, a new method called ultra-thin whitetopping requires only two to four inches of concrete.
