Asphalt Institute Regional Engineers @pavemntengineer and Dave Johnson taught our Paving Inspector Certification (PIC) course in Regina,
Saskatchewan, Canada with @SaskHeavy this week. The certification is now mandatory for asphalt inspectors in Saskatchewan. #inspection 🇨🇦

@bdiefvt @Asphaltmagazine Brian, part of the issue is terminology. HMA is essentially free of water and/or solvent, and therefore it can’t and doesn’t cure. According to time-temperature superposition, two binder grade bumps allow the HMA to immediately support stationary traffic. Issue: binder too soft.

It may sound like an odd question, but it will surprise you who is asking it and how often the wrong answer is given.

I’m very excited to announce that I’ll be joining AI as Regional Engineer for the Southeastern US.

I want to thank ARA for the privilege to serve for two years as the Principal Investigator on a key Air Force pavements research contract. I wish you continued success.

NCAT test track studies show promise for shotblasting our way to skid resistance. Can cleanup methods overcome residual shot left in airfield joints, cracks, and seals, posing FOD hazzard for F-16, KC-135, F-35B, and V-22?

[R. Grover Allen @pavemntengineer]

For vehicles to last, they REQUIRE preventive maintenance. Just imagine how much better pavements would perform long-term if we treated them like this.
