Intelligent Compaction Still Key to Quality Asphalt Pavements

IC provides the technological means to ensure that compaction is performed consistently, thoroughly and accurately - and contractors should be using it to improve their results

The key benefit of intelligent compaction is greater control over the compaction results, which in turn provides better finished paved results.

DOTs are Starting to Require Digital Tracking

By tracking everything from truck routes to mix temperature digitally, contractors can save time and money while complying with FHWA specifications

new technology is making digital tickets, gps stamped deliveries, route tracking and more, available with just a smartphone.

Wolf Paving Differentiates Through Plant Ownership

Paving company relies on asphalt production to grow in two competitive markets

In the Madison market, company growth has been huge for the company. The location features a 350 tph Gencor plant with two 200-ton silos and two 300-ton silos and that capacity is still not enough to serve the needs of the area.

What are Pavement Rejuvenators & Why are they Important?

The industry is working hard to find ways to reverse the impact of aging on asphalt performance while also increasing sustainability

Eventually, pavements breakdown beyond the point in which a surface rejuvenator can be used and the road must be resurfaced or rebuilt. This leads to an oversupply of milled asphalt. Using a rejuvenator in the mix provides an opportunity to utilize the RAP and increases its value to the road builder.
