Paving by Vibrolithic Method Tested in Waterloo
Iowa officials including highway commissioners and city engineers observed Moore Young Construction lay a seven inch vibrolithic concrete pavement in Waterloo. The process uses lattice placed vibrators to remove moisture, enabling one course paving and yielding 30 percent stronger, wear resistant surface. The project connects the Soues bridge to Rainbow drive near Electric Park, with officials from Greene and Nashua expected to attend.
