Focus Areas: HMA vs. WMA RPS Const. Individual Core Density Meets Specifications Wearing Course Density Data from CAMMS.
Focus Areas: Green Initiatives - WMA WMA Usage (% of Total Asphalt Tonnage) Data from ECMS Sections 309, 316, 409, 410, 9311 & 9411 Const. Items
Focus Areas: Green Initiatives - RAP RAP Usage Trend in HMA % of CAMMS Sample Increments Tested by MTD
Focus Areas: Green Initiatives - RAP Data Source = Annual District Survey
Focus Areas: Longitudinal Joints *Contractor collected data to prepare for 2011 joint density specification
2013 Longitudinal Joint Density Projects Incentive/Disincentive Summary • 67 Projects with Specification • 168 Total Lots (835 cores) • Raising min. spec. limit to ≥ 90% density for 2014 construction (Pub. 408 2011/Change 5)
Initiatives: Warranties • Warranties: Improving Quality • 5-Year Warranty for resurfacing overlays • Pending • 7-Year Warranty for major rehabilitation • Developing Specification and Use Guidelines for Clearance Transmittal - ongoing • What do we want to get from warranties? • Enhanced pavement quality • Increased Contractor accountability for product • Lower costs by reducing testing, supervision, and staff • Lower life-cycle and maintenance costs by improving performance • Protection against early failures
Pennsylvania Asphalt Pavement Association 53rd Annual Asphalt Paving Conference We Look Forward to Working with PAPA in 2014! Thank You!
