American Highway Technologies

⬇️Exciting news for the future of America's roads & infrastructure!⬇️

The American Concrete Pavement Association has formally expressed support for the BUILD America 250 Act (H.R. 8870), a bipartisan 5-year surface transportation reauthorization bill recently approved by the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.

The bill promises:
✅ Long-term federal investment in highways, bridges & freight corridors.
✅ Streamlined project delivery.
✅ A more solvent Highway Trust Fund.
✅ Continued funding for pavement technology innovation through the AID-PT program.

America's infrastructure isn't just concrete and steel—it's the backbone of our economy. Every road repaired, every bridge reinforced & every runway improved creates jobs, moves goods & keeps communities connected.

For those of us in the and industry, a strong legislative foundation means a stronger market for everyone—contractors, manufacturers, suppliers, as well as the communities we serve. When investment grows, we all grow with it.

The BUILD America 250 Act still has to undergo a full Congressional vote. Now is the time to pay attention, engage your representatives, and support the associations fighting for this industry's future. The American public deserves infrastructure built to last. Let's make sure Washington delivers it!

Concrete contractors and structural engineers—if you’re designing , , or plant floor slabs, it’s time to rethink traditional slab assumptions.

American Highway is helping project teams optimize slab designs using SLABS™ software by The Slab Designer—a first-of-its-kind advancement that moves beyond conventional approaches. This cutting-edge software enables designs that:

✅ Curl less.
✅ Provide positive load transfer.
✅ Deliver increased residual strength through fibers.
✅ Perform better without being tied to any specific system or proprietary design.

Because SLABS™ is system-agnostic, your engineers can use it across any opportunity—giving contractors a real edge in a highly competitive pre-bid environment.

Perhaps most importantly, SLABS™ helps correct the long-standing misconception that “all 7-inch slabs are the same.” Data-driven results show that a 6-inch slab with minimal curl and positive load transfer can carry the same loads as a traditional unreinforced, undoweled slab—often at lower risk and greater performance.
