Testimonials from attendees
“To sum it all up in numbers, in 2005, we lost around $250,000 in deducts for Voids, VMA, and Compaction. To date in 2006, using the Bailey Method, we are up $300,000 in incentives. To make this an even greater accomplishment, we achieved this incentive on half the jobs we had last year with incentive. What makes it even more incredible is the fact that there were two incidents that if the super would have called me sooner, I could have fixed the problem and kept from losing $55,000 in deducts.”
- QA Manager for a large regional Contractor after attending the full 3-Day Course at Asphalt Institute Headquarters
“My bosses will see this class pay for itself the first week of the paving season.”
“I've learned more about adjusting VMA in this course than I have learned in the last 28 years.”
“Been doing mix designs for 15 yrs and this class confirmed 95% of what I believed to be true and set me straight on the other 5%.”

This course begins with the basics and then builds to give you an intensive look into the Bailey Method's full potential. Use of its principles will allow you to improve and control HMA mixes, to optimize volumetrics (such as VMA), improve field compactability, and predict mix segregation potential. You will receive a full version of the latest edition of the Bailey Method analysis software, with hands-on software training, so bring a laptop. Attendance in the one day introductory course is not mandatory, but encouraged. Mix design and quality control experience is recommended.
Bringing a laptop computer preloaded with a fully operational copy of Microsoft Excel 2007® or newer and Adobe Reader® for each student to use during the class is highly encouraged.
