What is Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC)? A Faster, Stronger Paving Solution

Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) is a heavy-duty, low-cost concrete mix designed for high-performance paving in agricultural, commercial, and municipal settings. At Rock Solid RCC, we specialize in delivering RCC surfaces that outperform traditional pavement systems in strength, speed, and cost.

What Makes Roller Compacted Concrete Different?

RCC is placed like asphalt and performs like concrete, offering the best of both worlds.

Unlike conventional concrete, which is poured and cured slowly with forms and rebar, RCC is installed using precision equipment or high-capacity asphalt pavers and compacted with rollers. The result is a dense, high-strength pavement that supports extreme loads, resists rutting, and requires minimal maintenance.

RCC’s fast installation and long-term durability make it ideal for projects like:

  • Livestock feedlot aprons and alleys

  • Grain storage piles and bunkers

  • Distribution centers and intermodal yards

  • City streets, rural roads, and shoulders

  • Heavy truck yards and industrial sites

Rock Solid RCC uses on-site mixing and precision equipment to create smooth, high-strength RCC surfaces for clients throughout the Midwest.

How is RCC Made and Installed?

RCC is a blend of aggregates, Portland cement, and water, mixed to a dry consistency and compacted into place.

Here’s a breakdown of the RCC installation process:

  1. On-Site Mixing: Materials are blended using a portable pugmill to maintain precise mix design.

  2. Placement: The mix is installed using precision equipment or modified asphalt paving machines.

  3. Compaction: Steel drum vibratory rollers compact the material until it reaches the required density.

  4. Finishing: Curing compound is applied to preserve moisture and concrete is saw cut for a finished look.

The entire process is faster than traditional concrete placement and far more durable than asphalt. Most RCC projects are ready for traffic in 24–72 hours after compaction.

Common RCC Applications Across Agriculture, Industry & Public Works

RCC is uniquely suited for sectors where surface strength, drainage, and uptime are essential.

Agricultural RCC Applications:

  • Feedlot aprons, alleys, and pens

  • Silage & feed  pads

  • Manure containment areas

  • Farm access roads

  • Commodity Building Floors

Commercial & Industrial RCC Applications:

  • Parking lots - trucks, machinery, automobile

  • Shipping and loading docks

  • Container yards

  • Manufacturing plant service roads

  • Construction staging areas

Municipal RCC Applications:

  • Local roadways and shoulders

  • Transfer stations and utility yards

Our team has firsthand experience building RCC surfaces tailored to these unique use cases, with every project engineered for long-term performance and cost control.

Key Benefits of Roller Compacted Concrete for High-Demand Sites

RCC’s popularity is growing rapidly because it solves common pain points associated with traditional paving methods.

  • High Structural Integrity: Handles frequent, heavy loads without deformation.

  • Rapid Construction: No forms, rebar, or extended curing times.

  • Minimal Downtime: Return to service in days, not weeks.

  • Low Maintenance: No need for frequent resurfacing or patching.

  • Sustainable: Lower emissions, less waste, and long lifespan reduce environmental impact.

At Rock Solid RCC, we help you minimize costs while maximizing performance, whether you're building a feedlot surface, a city roadway, or an industrial container pad.

  • Quality Control: We monitor mix design, compaction, and moisture in real time to ensure performance you can count on.

  • Speed & Transparency: Get accurate timelines, detailed estimates, and consistent communication from day one.

If you're planning a high-traffic, heavy-use pavement project, Rock Solid RCC is your go-to partner.

Is RCC Right for Your Project?

If your site involves heavy vehicles, frequent traffic, or freeze-thaw conditions, RCC may be the best choice for long-term performance and cost savings. It’s ideal for:

  • Feedlots

  • Grain elevators

  • Municipal service roads

  • Freight yards

  • Construction sites

  • Utility and recycling yards
