The compaction operation is the final, critical step in the construction process of a durable asphalt pavement. This webinar will provide the attendee with a solid background on how compaction works and present best practices for conducting the compaction process that results in a durable, long-lasting and smooth asphalt pavement.
Topics to be discussed are:
- Importance of compaction and density
- Balancing the compaction operation with plant production, hauling, and paving operation
- Roller types and how they work
- Phases of the compaction operation
- Factors that affect the compaction process
- Best practices for obtaining density
- Best practices for pavement smoothness
