Asphalt road construction technologist

Asphalting is a complex process involving various mixtures. For the construction or renovation of a road section, the contractor uses different mixtures for each layer of asphalt. The asphalt road construction technologist monitors the paving process from selection to application. They manage and evaluate the research results and advise on the use of raw materials and the composition of mixtures. They also supervise the laboratory technicians who monitor the quality of the asphalt and the operators in the asphalt plants.
