Our roller-compacted concrete is made entirely of raw materials and is a type of low-water concrete that is applied with a roller. It combines the durability of standard concrete with the simplicity of asphalt. In other words, it’s a cost-effective, durable solution for paving surfaces such as roads, parking lots, industrial zones and agricultural facilities.
Thanks to its unique characteristics, RCC is designed to withstand even the harshest conditions. It’s an optimal choice for commercial and industrial paving projects as well as unloading docks, transportation terminals, holding tanks and farm bunker silos.
It’s a smart, eco-friendly solution that is cost-efficient and extremely durable.
Technical properties and specifications:
High density: Approx. 2,500 kg/m3
High resistance:
Flexural strength: 6.5 to 8.5 MPa (at 28 days)
Compressive strength: 45 to 60 MPa (at 28 days)
Rate of application: 3,000 m2 per day or more
Easy to install: No formwork, reinforcement, or finishing needed
Composition: Exclusively raw materials
Quick to put in place: up to 3,000 m2 can be laid per day and the paved surface can be used within 48 to 72 hours
Hydraulic conductivity: Nearly non-existant (approximately 2.7×10-13 cm/s)
Average lifespan is 30 years – 2 to 3 times longer than asphalt.
Exceptionally durable and can withstand repeated and stationary heavy loads.
Impervious to the corrosive effects of de-icing salts, fuels, oils, and solvents.

Urban heat islands caused by asphalt surfaces
RCC, with its lighter color, reflects heat instead of absorbing it as black asphalt does, reducing urban heat islands and contributing to a cooler environment. Projects with RCC could also be eligible to receive LEED® certification credits.

High maintenance costs due to frequent repairs needed
Maintenance costs that are up to six times lower when compared to asphalt.
Wears down quickly due to heavy loads
RCR can withstand very heavy loads – making it an ideal solution for industrial zones. Is highly resistant to wear in hot weather in areas frequently exposed to heavy loads.
Chemical degradation and industrial fluids
Impervious to the corrosive effects of de-icing salts, fuels, oils, and solvents.
Time-consuming installation
RCR can be quickly and efficiently installed – surfaces can be used within 48 to 72 hours – reducing disruptions to your projects.
RCC is used in a variety of projects, including:
In addition to a compact mobile Pugmill plant to meet the needs of on-site projects, Béton Provincial also has a network of plants located throughout the province. This one-of-a-kind network allows us to mix our RCC near worksites. In other words, lower production costs resulting in substantial savings for clients.
Unmatched durability: An average lifespan of 30 years, 2 to 3 times longer than asphalt.
The initial cost of RCC is a bit higher than asphalt but because of its durability and low maintenance, it’s more cost-effective over time.

It combines the durability of standard concrete with the simplicity of asphalt. In other words, it’s a cost-effective, durable solution for paving surfaces such as roads, parking lots, and even industrial zones.
RCC can be used in a variety of projects, including:
No. RCC requires much less maintenance than asphalt. Because it is so durable, it is less prone to cracks and wear. As a result, maintenance costs are halved.

Absolutely. RCC is designed to withstand both extreme heatwaves and our harsh Quebec winters – including their frequent freeze-thaw cycles. Moreover, RCC remains stable even when subjected to very heavy loads.
Yes. RCC is an eco-conscious choice because it is a durable paving solution that does not require frequent repairs, thereby reducing the amount of resources required for upkeep. Moreover, it can be made from recycled materials to reduce waste.
Our RCC is made with raw materials, but RCC can also be crushed down into aggregates which can then be reused to produce new RCC or integrated as a capping layer for roads and alleyways. Recycling RCC can therefore reduce construction waste and decrease the carbon footprint of projects.
A roller is used to apply compacted layers of RCC. This guarantees high density and optimum resistance. Quick to put in place: up to 3,000 m2 can be laid per day and the paved surface can be used within 48 to 72 hours.
RCC is extremely versatile and is suitable for:
