Asphalt Mix Testing
Asphalt binder, aggregate, and other additives are mixed using varying methods and combinations to create different types of asphalt pavement. We test these mixes for characteristics such as quality, stability, and compliance with end-product specifications. We also perform forensic testing, where asphalt concrete that is already in place is tested to confirm that it meets specifications.
