As part of the facility design a series of high-strength dolly pads were required. The construction schedule would not allow for the traditional concrete pavement due to unseasonably cold weather and the oncoming peak shipping season. CN wanted minimal facility downtime during installation. Lafarge worked with the CN to design a DuraTough pavement that had the strength and durability required with a short...
