Back in the early 1990s, a paving contractor in the British Columbia interior working on stamped concrete thought back to when he had accidentally dropped a wrench onto a fresh asphalt slab and rolled over it – leaving a perfect imprint that remained afterwards.

NY Daily NewsThe streets of New York were never paved with gold, but some now have a coat of brick-red. The city has painted red bus lanes on short stretches of E.57th St. and Fordham Road in the Bronx to see if the color works better for bus-only lanes.

District Engineer For years architects have been trying to find a way to produce a laid-brick street without actually laying the bricks. They tried a variety of materials, but with limited success. Then Integrated Paving Concepts, Inc. (IPC) of Victoria, British Columbia, developed StreetPrint, a revolutionary asphalt texturing system that replicates the appearance of hand-laid brick. |
