The Science and Art of Building Asphalt Pavements
Join us this month for the August edition of Everyday Asphalt as we deep dive into the science and art of asphalt paving and how award-winning pavements make longer-lasting pavements. This month's guests include Chuck Fuller (TXAPA) and our special guest, San Angelo District's Director of Maintenance, Jordan Sefcik. Our dive takes us inside the awards program to review projects that meet the high bar and the typical issues they must overcome to win at the highest level. We also look at a case study project in San Angelo and how TxDOT and the Contractor made this a project worth the trip. Use these tips and examples to fine-tune your projects this summer. You might be at the winner's table next year! Join us for another smooth asphalt ride!
