VENTURE SETS SUPERPAVE EXAMPLE IN KANSAS

Venture Corporation's first Superpave project on Interstate 70 (I-70) west of Salina, Kansas, won recognition for its smoothness from both the Kansas Asphalt Pavement Association and the National Asphalt Pavement Association. Venture used onsite asphalt plants while constructing the I-70 project. Several times during the project, the plants were shut down while tests could be done to verify the quality of the mixtures. Venture's lab technicians consistently checked the density behind the rollers.
