Expected Performance
UTW (2 4) 15 to 20 years Thicker overlays (4 6) 20 to 25 years
Condition of existing sub-grade/pavement Clearance issues if none, can build on top of old PCCP or HMA pavement
Unbonded Overlay
Consists of thick concrete layer (4 or greater) on top of existing concrete pavement. Uses a separation interlayer to separate new overlay and existing concrete.
