Before any excavation, including the removal of any areas of unsuitable materials, cross-sections should be taken of the undisturbed ground. From this information, and the cross sections taken of the completed road, earthwork quantities can be calculated.

Pavement with crown has to be redone all over again. In addition to that, operators should continuously loosen the mix that clings to the sides of the hopper and push it back into the active mix. If the asphalt mix grow cold, it cannot be properly compact

Decades of expertise are represented in our Asphalt Institute seminars, webinars and training materials. We are dedicated to teaching best practices for testing, design and application of asphalt in the paving and roofing industries.

Conventional hot-mix asphalt (HMA) is typically pro-duced at temperatures from 280 °F to 320 °F (140 °C to 160 °C). WMA is produced at 212 °F to 280 °F (100 °C to 140 °C). So what is significant about WMA? Improve-ments in coating and compaction provide a
