Asphalt technology
Traffic areas of all types require pavements that meet the requirements placed on them, not only when they are opened for traffic but also long-term. The recipe of the asphalt used is a key factor, bearing in mind specifically the effort and expenditure required for maintenance and repair. The specialists of TPA work closely with asphalt manufacturers and asphalt constructors to develop needs-based recipes which are tailored to meet specific requirements. Be it traffic areas, streets, railway construction projects, heavy-duty flight operation areas, waterworks or landfill sites – we develop the most appropriate type of asphalt.
The quality of the building materials depends not only on the recipe but also on the methods used for their production and placement. Therefore, in addition to initial tests and production inspections, we also carry out extensive tests on the functional properties of asphalt as well as extended tests in accordance with all common standards (such as EN, SHRP, ASTM, BS, AFNOR, AASHTO, GOST). Beyond this we also optimize installation on site. By using state-of-the-art equipment technology, we ensure maximum asphalt quality from the beginning to the end of the production chain.
