Asphalt Quality Control
Let us assume the responsibility of asphalt quality control (QC) for your next asphalt job. At ATS we rigorously test the asphalt at the plant as it is produced as well as on the roadway as it is paved. Whether your asphalt job is a government (city, county, state), commercial or private job, our asphalt quality control services ensure your asphalt meets all required standards and specifications.
Our Process
Asphalt is produced in plant according to approved mix design specs.
HMA is tested in lab to ensure it meets performance standards
Asphalt is applied to project area at designated yield
Asphalt paving levels 1 & 2 techs monitor & report slopes, spread rates, core densities and any straightedge deficiencies
Upon project completion, final walk-through with project manager, quality control manager, and customer
Paving the Way for Quality Asphalt
Asphalt quality control is about more than just checking a box. QC ensures the longevity and safety of asphalt pavements.
Our Asphalt QC Service ensures asphalt producers and asphalt contractors can be worry-free in the areas of:
- Meeting project specifications
- Calculating tack, dilution and spread rates
- Monitoring rolling patterns
- Achieving proper density
- Cutting asphalt core samples to check for actual density results
- Ensuring acceptable quality practices are followed
We've Got Your Asphalt Quality Control Covered
True asphalt quality control takes a multilayered approach. That’s why we provide the asphalt quality control technicians in the lab and on the road to ensure the asphalt is produced and paved to meet all quality specifications and requirements.
Asphalt Production Quality Control
Quality Control during asphalt production includes:
- Properly collecting samples from the trucks immediately following load-out
- Monitoring actual mix temperatures at the plant
- Verifying liquid asphalt content
- Identifying volumetric properties of compacted asphalt specimens and the specific gravity of the asphalt mix
- Calculating the gradation of the mix
Asphalt Paving Quality Control
Quality Control during asphalt paving includes:
- Verifying proper rolling patterns are employed
- Monitoring mix temperatures at the roadway
- Monitoring temperatures of the asphalt mat
- Calculating tack, dilution and spread rates
- Checking density after asphalt paver lays the asphalt mix and after each roller passes
- Cutting core samples to check for actual density results
- Ensuring acceptable quality practices are followed
We've Got your Asphalt Quality Assurance Covered
Quality Assurance is the continued evaluation of planning, design and the development of plans and specifications to provide confidence that the product or facility will perform to standards. This is provided through an unbiased, independent review of all operations, procedures and equipment used in the asphalt quality control process. This is achieved by:
- Observing and inspecting procedures during production and placement
- Split sample testing
- Evaluating performance and qualifications of the technicians
- Verifying equipment is calibrated and in proper working condition
- Conducting project oversight
- Reviewing reports and results for accuracy per the project’s requirements
Our Process
