?? Build Resilient Infrastructure with ESCS Aggregates in Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan! ?? Lightweight expanded shale, clay, and slate (ESCS) aggregates offer unparalleled benefits for infrastructure in flood-prone areas. With high permeability, ESCS promotes efficient stormwater drainage, reducing flood risks while supporting soil stabilization and minimizing erosion. Its lightweight nature reduces settlement in densely packed roads and bridges, preserving the integrity of structures even during heavy rainfall. By providing both thermal insulation and soil aeration, ESCS supports vegetation growth and protects against freeze-thaw cycles that can cause structural damage. ?? Stronger, Greener Roads and Bridges ?? ESCS aggregates not only improve the longevity of infrastructure but also contribute to eco-friendly construction practices. By stabilizing soil and supporting vegetation growth, ESCS enhances the natural environment and improves flood resilience. Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan can benefit from integrating ESCS into road and bridge projects to build a more sustainable, climate-resilient future. Together, we can reduce flood risks and protect our communities. #ESCS #SustainableConstruction #StormwaterManagement #SoilStabilization #ResilientInfrastructure #GreenInfrastructure #MidwestDevelopment #FloodPrevention
Today, FHWA announced $6 million in “quick release” Emergency Relief funds to help the Vermont Agency of Transportation with costs associated with repairs of the roads and bridges damaged by severe flooding from hurricanes Beryl and Debby this summer. “The Federal Highway Administration is proud to work closely with the Vermont Agency of Transportation to repair and restore communities by issuing Emergency Relief to expeditiously get federal funding in the hands of impacted communities,” said Acting Federal Highway Administrator Kristin White.
