About the Job

Project: Concrete pavement overlay, unbonded, for Oak Crest Hill Road in Johnson County, Iowa, from south of the city limits of Hills to the Washington County line

Award from Iowa DOT: $1,845,120.47

Contractors: Metro Pavers Inc., Iowa City, Iowa

Equipment used: CMI trimmer, Power Pavers/Power Curbers 2700 slipform paver and Power Pavers/Power Curbers TC-2700 texture curing machine. “The 2700 slipform paver worked very well for the job,” Kempf says. “It’s very mobile for the kind of work we have, but it’s still heavy enough to do this kind of work. It’s a two-track machine – easy to load and easy to unload for transport.”
