Pavement performance depends on many factors. Mix designs, ambient and mix temperatures, rolling methods, joints, and types of equipment used can all be analyzed and tweaked to deliver a better ...

How often have you run over a nasty pothole or gotten a headache from driving on the bumpy pavement? No matter where you live, everyone claims to have the worst roads — and everyone’s rights to a ...

Researchers have developed a new machine-learning technique that applies the Goldilocks principle to road compaction quality. Researchers have developed new "intelligent compaction" technology, which ...

Often, one of the last and most critical steps in building roads is when compactors roll down that last mile. Accurate compaction can be overlooked in the rush to finish that last pass before the ...

Regardless of what you’re growing, spring is an exciting time of year. But it doesn’t come without challenges. Compaction can lead to wet soil that makes it difficult to get in your fields on time for ...

Take a closer look at some of today's top equipment and technology innovations helping to automate road scans and road designs. This spring and summer, we’ve talked a lot about asphalt paving plans, ...

Most terrestrial plants are highly dependent on the soil for their well-being. A very favorable soil contains 50 percent open “pore” space, 45 percent minerals, and 5 percent organic material. The ...

Fixing or recovering from soil compaction can take years and prove costly to your operation. But as Albert Einstein once quipped, “Intellectuals solve problems, geniuses prevent them.” While we can’t ...

Researchers have developed new “intelligent compaction” technology, which integrates into a road roller and can assess in real-time the quality of road base compaction. Improved road construction can ...
