This free checklist issued by the Pavement Tools Consortium (PTC) lays out some basic design guidelines you need to take into consideration before designing or taking on hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavements, including:

- Subgrade
- Drainage
- Structural Design
And more. To get this free checklist, click here.
This guideline is issued by the Pavement Tools Consortium (PTC) – a partnership between several US state Departments of Transportation (DOTs), the US Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and the University of Washington to further develop and use computer-based pavement tools. The major focus of the pavement tools is the enhancement of pavement-related training and construction operations. The Consortium will be funded via a Pooled Fund arrangement and managed by the Washington State Department of Transportation and the Maryland State Highway Administration.

Have you heard about the Sumsion Construction LC and did you know that since the early 1900′s, the Sumsion name has been synonymous with asphalt paving in the state of Utah. Valley Asphalt, based in Spanish Fork, Utah was owned by the Sumsion family until 1997 when it was sold to a nation-wide construction company. Through three generations, the Sumsion family had built one of the largest, most well-respected asphalt paving companies in the state.
