WHAT'S NEW AT CAPA

Warm Mix Asphalt – Hot Topic at SAPA Mid Year Meeting{from State Asphalt Pavement Association (SAPA) Mid Year Meeting, August 8-10, 2010}   There are now approximately 23 states with permissive specifications that allow warm mix asphalt (WMA), including Alabama.  All but 9 states have had pilot WMA projects.  It is expected that 30 Million tons of WMA will be placed this year in the USA.  The FHWA is very supportive of the use of WMA and is encouraging its implementation through its “Every Day Counts” program. NAPA Chairman Larry Lemon from Haskell Lemon Construction Co. in Oklahoma stated that his company has 5 asphalt material plants and produces 800,000 tons of asphalt materials per year.  Each plant is now equipped with WMA foaming technology.  Larry feels WMA is a superior product from a field workability, compaction, and performance standpoint.
