Road agencies worldwide are rethinking how they design, monitor and maintain aging networks as climate stress, traffic growth and funding gaps converge. ✔️New approaches are emerging—but not without trade-offs for owners, designers and contractors. https://brnw.ch/21wYrMq #Infrastructure #RoadSafety #Resilience

Developers, contractors, and owners who specify E5® products achieve measurable improvements in durability, performance, and lifecycle cost stability. By introducing E5® Internal Cure® and E5® Liquid Fly Ash® into the mix, hydration becomes far more controlled, reducing early-age shrinkage and slab movement by up to 80–90% compared to traditional wet curing or Type IL–only mixes. This internal stabilization leads to stronger long-term performance, fewer early failures, and a far more predictable slab behavior over the first critical 5 years—when 50–70% of large industrial slabs typically curl, crack, or craze under conventional curing practices.
