Northeast Asphalt booth at Einstein Science fair is a hit - Once again, NEA hosted a booth at the annual Einstein Science Expo at Shopko Hall. Northeast Asphalt representatives were there to provide hands-on learning about the science of aggregates and hot mix asphalt. Attendees were able to learn about drilling, blasting and quarrying aggregates, and handle samples of the many types and grades of aggregate materials being used in Wisconsin road building. |

Warm Mix Asphalt: The wave of the future? - Warm-mix asphalt has the potential to allow the producers of hot-mix asphalt pavement material to lower the temperatures at which the material is mixed and placed on the road. Reductions of 50 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit have been documented. Such drastic reductions would have the obvious benefits of cutting fuel consumption and decreasing the production of greenhouse gases. |
