High-density asphalt laydown machines, like the one shown in figure 8, are used for RCC construction. These pavers provide a high initial density in the range of 90 to 96 percent. These types of pavers can achieve a smoother surface with less rolling (or none at all) in obtaining the final density. Productivity is very good, paving 6 to 8 ft/min. The high-density pavers can place lifts from 4 to 9 inches thick and place lanes widths from 10 to 30 ft.
