Manafort Brothers

American Concrete Pavement Association (ACPA)
In the realm of surface transportation construction, the decision about which type of pavement material is used for highways, roads, airports and other facilities comes down to either concrete or asphalt pavement materials.

In an ever-industrializing world, landscapes turn from forests and plains to concrete roads and high rises as cities expand and develop. But 21st century urban architecture doesn’t resemble the dull and dreary factory lanes of Europe during the Industrial Revolution. In modern, global cities around the world, innovators are finding ways to use concrete that are better for the environment, safer, and more aesthetically pleasing.
