CAREFUL LAYDOWN DEFINING ELEMENT OF QUALITY SUPERPAVE CONSTRUCTION

This article describes a national conference on Superpave (high-performance, hot-mix asphalt design specification) held in April 2000 in Denver, Colorado. At this conference, research, engineering, and construction experts updated attendees on developments in Superpave since a similar conference in April 1998. A number of factors that conference participants believe contribute to the success of a Superpave construction project are discussed. Among these is the key determination that, from a contractor's point of view, care in the laydown is the most critical element in a Superpave construction effort. Additional recommendations are also included.
