A Year In The Chair

This issue marks 12 months as the editor for Asphalt Contractor Magazine.

Ayear ago, I took over as the editor for this publication from Jessica Lombardo, who spent the previous decade with the brand and within this amazing industry. It's no secret that my success here wouldn't have been possible without her help in the transition, and even now, she continues to be an amazing support. At that time I didn't know anything about the asphalt business or the paving world, and I didn't really have a very deep understanding of our country's infrastructure for that matter. It's very interesting what can change in the matter of a year.

PASSION PROJECTS

If you've been paying close attention to the articles that I write both here and on our parent website ForConstructionPros. com, you might have picked up on the sorts of things that I am passionate about. One of those themes is sustainability, and the other is labor.

While I've covered plenty of stories on technology, products, and some best practices too, I am very taken up with how the future is being shaped by the direction and influences of sustainability and labor. That’s because sustainability isn't just an industry or political buzzword. Actual policy, product, and practice is currently being implemented with it at the center, and the generation coming into the industry is playing a major role is this trend.

The next generation of labor is more environmentally conscious than any previous generation before them. And they're conscious in another way, too. Labor's "class consciousness" is more awake and active than it has been in the past 30 years. I will continue to cover

these two topics in the years to come, as they develop, change, and impact our industry.

GETTING MY HANDS DIRTY

Until this summer began, one of the biggest hinderances to my job education was a lack of hands-on opportunity with the real work of the asphalt world. As soon as the plants started kicking on and people were paving, I've tried to get out there and get my hands dirty. Thankfully, I've already had some awesome experiences in Long Island, N.Y.; Philadelphia, Penn.; and a handful of other places yet to come this season.

One of the biggest things that I've drawn from these in-person, on the ground moments, is that the work is full of dynamic decision making. Each site I've been to has had problems arise, right there in the moment, while I've been there trying to learn things. Unexpected breakdowns, no-shows, bad weather, and you name what else. The difference-maker is the ability to change strategically and effectively, adapt to the problem, and find an efficient solution. If you don't know what to do in case the plan fails, all the planning in the world can go out the door quickly, i

Everyone approaches these hiccups in their own way, and each time I'm with a different crew I've learned new things about how to tackle problems as they come. Maybe next time it will be with yours, because I'm always looking for my next chance to get out there!

See you on the road.

ASTEC M-Pack Relocatable Asphalt Plant

An Astec M-Pack plant has the capacity and size of a permanent facility with reduced setup costs. That’s a big advantage. The Astec M-Pack is engineered as a set of modules that are transported by truck. Each Astec M-Pack plant ships in ready to set up loads when it leaves the manufacturing facility. Level and pave your site, then lift the pre-piped, pre-wired modules off the trailer and bolt them up. The M-Pack foundations are heavy-duty and provide plenty of load-bearing surface to support the facility components. Sturdy steel construction of each component ensures that setup proceeds quickly and without difficulty. If you ever move the Astec M-Pack plant to another site, most loads

fit on lowboy type trailers, and the builtin foundations go with them.

High production, large storage capacity, full-size control rooms, highquality components, and excellent maintenance access make the modular Astec M-Pack asphalt mixing plant highly functional. Astec is renowned for producing durable and reliable equipment, and the M-Pack plant is no exception. Built with high-quality materials and components, it offers long-term performance and minimal maintenance requirements, ensuring a reliable and cost-effective operation. Plus, with any Astec product you get unbeatable customer service and support. There are a wide range of options on these robust, versatile plants. With a team

of experienced engineers and in-house technicians, Astec has the knowledge and the expertise to help you make the appropriate selections to meet your requirements.

Astec Advantages:

• Only Astec offers four exclusive mixing systems: Double Barrel, Double Barrel X, Double Barrel XHR or UniDrum

• Only Astec offers two full-size silo options: Long-Term or Short-Term

Caterpillar 3D Screed Plate System

The Axenox screed plate design is a significant departure from industry standard. Whereas traditional plates are flat, these plates utilize a threedimensional, angular design. This added dimension delivers lateral compaction confinement to asphalt material. The kneading action helps aggregate to interlock more efficiently than with flat screeds, increasing mat and joint density along with improving mat smoothness. Densities reaching 91% have been measured behind pavers equipped with the three-dimensional screed plates, so there is less of a chance for material shoving and cracking with the roller. These high densities can reduce the number of passes, lowering compaction cost. At the longitudinal joint, higher densities result in improved material containment during compaction.
