Hot mix asphalt, or HMA, is a flexible pavement material made by combining asphalt binder with aggregates. It is commonly used for roads that require quicker construction and easier maintenance. Portland cement concrete, or PCC, is a rigid pavement composed of cement, water, and aggregates. It offers greater durability and is well-suited for areas with heavy traffic or industrial use.
McClure helps clients choose between these materials by evaluating site-specific factors such as traffic volume, climate, and long-term maintenance needs. In addition, our team performs benefit-cost analyses to compare lifecycle costs and performance outcomes. This approach ensures that each project uses the most appropriate and cost-effective pavement solution for its unique conditions.
