Asphalt

Used to surface roads, parking lots, airports and much more, asphalt mixtures have been utilized in pavement construction since the beginning of the twentieth century. With such an important role in many projects, asphalt testing and inspection is a common practice. Recently, there’s been an even greater emphasis on quality asphalt testing due to new technologies, increased construction liability and revised building standards. Asphalt testing and inspection act as a sort of quality insurance for the product. Raw data, calculations and allowable tolerances are all recorded to verify that all specifications are met and that the mix will be reliable once in position. It also allows for problems to be fixed before the asphalt is brought on site.
