September Luncheon Meeting

Topic: Warm Mix Asphalt

Speaker
H. Wayne Jones, PE – Senior Regional Engineer for the Asphalt Institute

The asphalt industry has started using a new technology call Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA). WMA started in Europe, but its use is rapidly expanding here in the U.S. There are several processes that allow the manufacture, transporting, and installation of asphalt mixtures from 50°F to 100°F cooler than traditional temperatures. One of the technologies even allows the mixture to be placed below 212°F. When the temperature is lowered that much, a whole host of environmental and construction benefits become a reality, such as lower fuel and energy usage, less greenhouse gases, longer paving seasons, and better performing pavements.
