Buzzi Unicem USA, Signal Mountain Plant, Chattanooga, TN, teamed up with Irving Materials (Nashville, TN), Robert Smith Paving (Chattanooga, TN) and Lee Adcock Construction (Shelbyville, TN) to provide 2700 cubic yards of Roller Compacted Concrete Pavement (RCCP) to Jack Daniel’s new warehouse facility in September 2011.
The continuous growth of the distillery on the international market presented the need for more storage space for the barrels to age.
Buzzi Unicem USA and its partners worked together to convince Jack Daniel’s to consider using Roller Compacted Concrete Pavement as an alternate to the asphalt design. RCCP is a low slump, low water/cement (w/c) ration concrete mix with the consistency of damp gravel. It is placed with standard asphalt paving equipment or high-density pavers designed for this product. 

The scope of the project included two new warehouses for stocking the new whisky prior to shipment and 162,000 square feet of paving, which included a 1000 foot access road.
The installed price of the RCC was 10% below the cost of the asphalt design. With lower maintenance, faster placement, and structurally superiority and durability, Jack Daniel’s made an intelligent business decision.
