Publisher’s Letter Dear Readers, Remember me? You may have met me at one of CalAPA’s Southern California Contractor Dinners, or perhaps you saw me volunteering to help out at CalAPA’s annual Golf Tournament.

Being visible in our industry is important, and developing relationships is vital. The more people get to know you, and your company, the more comfortable they are doing business with you.

That doesn’t happen by accident.

I have been involved in association activities for about five years, and I’m pleased to say it is an important part of how my company maintains relationships with our existing customers and raises our profile with potential customers. At the same time we are proud to support our industry and I find that by attending CalAPA events it helps me stay current with industry issues and trends.

Ultimately when people get to know you they learn about your company and what sets it apart from others. In my case, Consolidated Industrial Services rents out operated asphalt pavement equipment and experienced workers, and during our 18 years in business we have developed a reputation for quality workmanship, pride in getting the job done right and working with our customers to meet their needs.

In the relaxed atmosphere of CalAPA events, I can get to know our customers and potential customers, and what they need. Many times in the past I have met someone new, or reconnected with someone I haven’t seen in a while, and my phone will ring a week later. They remembered my name and my face, and needed the service our company provides. Repetition is the key, which is why going to just one event really won’t have nearly the impact as being a regular.

CalAPA members decide what type of events the association puts on. CalAPA’s staff, including Executive Director Russell Snyder, new Deputy Executive Director Tony Grasso, and Member Services Manager Sophie You, are dedicated to helping ensure that those events are executed flawlessly so that those who attend can focus on networking, learning and having a good time.

Our many event volunteers also are part of the recipe for success at our events.

Recently, Russell shared with me an e-mail he received from Mike Silva of CalAPA member Troxler Electronic Laboratories, Inc.: “I just want to take a moment to thank you for all that you did to help me,” Mike wrote. “I was brand new to the industry a year and a half ago, and you and your team helped to introduce me to key people at all of your conferences. I recently attended a Caltrans-industry Rock Products Committee meeting in Sacramento, and I recognized 98 percent of everyone in the room. I also want to thank you for helping me with technical questions.”

Russell also tells me that a record number of new members have joined CalAPA this year.

Apparently the word is getting around that this is the place to be if you want to get dialed in to the asphalt pavement industry in California.

We hope you enjoy this special “Equipment Issue” of California Asphalt Magazine, which is the official publication of the California Asphalt Pavement Association. And I look forward to seeing you at the next CalAPA event – it will be memorable!

Sincerely,

Lori Cisneros Operations Manager Consolidated Industrial Services 4

being implemented in California

By Russell W. Snyder

I

n March of 2003 a 16-yearold high school student was driving three friends to school when tragedy struck. For some reason, his Pontiac Sunfire drifted off the paved surface of a curving, two-lane road within sight of campus. Encountering a jarring drop-off, the young driver panicked, overcorrected, and veered sharply back onto the roadway into the path of an on-coming school bus. The resulting head-on collision claimed the life of the young driver, who only recently had received his license, and a 15-year-old friend. Two other teens in the car were seriously hurt. Only the driver of the empty school bus escaped harm.

Although the crash happened within sight of Lovejoy High School south of Atlanta, the impact has been felt across the country, including in California, where changes in pavement edge design are starting to appear in roadways across the state.

The crash brought renewed scrutiny to the phenomenon of pavement drop-off that can occur when the shoulder backing next to the vertical pavement edge has eroded due to weather, vehicle traffic, settlement or other causes.

10

Motorists who leave the roadway can be unprepared for the sudden drop-off and over-react, resulting in a severe crash. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has in recent years been promoting what the agency calls a “Safety EdgeSM” pavement design, which replaces a typical 90-degree pavement edge with a sloped edge of 30 degrees, to provide a more tapered transition between paved and unpaved surfaces. The Safety EdgeSM has been included in the FHWA’s “Every Day Counts” initiative as well as their “9 Proven Safety Countermeasures” list to promote innovative safety and cost-effective improvements to the transportation system.

While experts say it is difficult to pinpoint exactly how many crashes are directly attributable to the drop-off phenomenon, most agree that the engineering solution does show promise and could save lives. “Tire scrubbing” is one of the characteristics of crashes that involve cars dropping off a vertical paved surface and then attempting to return to the roadway, scuffing the tire sidewalls in the process.

Smaller vehicles are more prone to the jarring effects from

such maneuvers, including undercarriage damage.

“The Safety EdgeSM is a lowcost, proven safety countermeasure we are promoting under ‘Every Day Counts,’ our innovation partnership with state DOTs,” says FHWA Acting Administrator Greg Nadeau. “Safety EdgeSM can help prevent crashes from shoulder-edge drop-offs as well as reduce edge raveling of asphalt pavements.”

The California Asphalt Pavement Association (CalAPA) has partnered with the FHWA, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and local agencies to provide information about the new design, and has been part of demonstration projects and presentations across the state.

The concept was officially unveiled in California at a meeting of the Caltrans-industry Rock Products Committee in Riverside in 2010, shortly followed by a series of educational “webinars.” CalAPA featured coverage of the Safety Edge concept in its newsletters and even conducted an on-line poll on the subject.

One such demonstration, cosponsored by CalAPA, occurred on Sept. 23, 2010 in Plumas County,

where public works officials got to see first-hand the Safety EdgeSM asphalt pavement treatment on an actual paving job. Other organizers of the event were the FHWA, Dig-it Construction and the Plumas County Department of Public Works.

A second open-house/ demonstration took place in Calaveras County, August 23, 2012, on a 2.1 mile segment of Mountain Ranch Road through a Highways for LIFE program sponsored by FHWA. Thirty seven people attended the demonstration, which included participants from the surrounding counties, other contractors and consultants to learn more about the Safety EdgeSM. All participants learned about the benefits of the Safety EdgeSM and the process of attaching the shoe to the screed and operation to form the Safety EdgeSM. Earlier this year, CalAPA member George Reed Inc. stepped in to help conduct another Safety

EdgeSM demonstration on a roadway project near Sonora in rural Tuolumne County. The paving demonstration was attended by more than 30 industry and agency personnel who wanted to get an in-person look at two of the many paver attachments that have come on the market in recent years to create the sloped edge during a paving operation.

Michael Gourley, construction manager, Sonora Division for George Reed Inc. joined Ken Kochevar with the FHWA at the paving demonstration, which was supervised by Michael Cauthorn, project engineer with George Reed Inc., who was joined by Greg Reader, Technical Specialist for Hot Mix Asphalt. A pre-job briefing was provided by Bev Shane, Director, Tuolumne County Community Resources Agency, Andy Mergenmeier, senior pavement and materials engineer for the FHWA, and Tanya Allen, Supervising Engineer, Tuolumne County Community Resources

California Asphalt Magazine • 2014 Equipment Guide Issue

Agency. Also supporting the event was the California LTAP Center of California State University, Sacramento College of Continuing Education.

“I want to personally thank George Reed for doing the construction on this project,” Shane said during the pre-job briefing.

Caltrans specifications for the sloped pavement edge call for a 5-degree tolerance, plus or minus, for meeting the 30-degree goal of the sloped pavement edge for both asphalt and concrete.

“The Safety EdgeSM does not take the place of the shoulder,” noted Kochevar, safety program manager for the Federal Highway Administration, Sacramento Division Office, at the Sonora briefing. He said once the Safety Edge is in place, and the shoulder-backing is in place, “You will not be able to tell if the edge is sloped or vertical once the project is done.” [ Continued on page 12 ]

[ Continued from page 11 ]

The Safety EdgeSM can be included even for a 1-inch pavement overlay, added Mergenmeier, of the FHWA. “I’ve never seen a Safety EdgeSM create a situation that is worse” than the situation created by a vertical pavement edge, he said.

“There really isn’t a downside.”

The same rolling pattern used on conventional paving jobs is utilized during a project that includes a Safety EdgeSM. Generally, it was advised for the roller to start in the middle of the lane and work toward the edge. On the day of the Aug. 28 demonstration, the paving crew was putting down a half-inch PG 64-14 mix with no modified binder.

The actual paving operation took place under sunny skies on Woodham Carne Road, a rural road in Tuolumne County near the community of Sonora.

Attendees crowded around the paver as it slowly moved down the road, applying a layer of asphalt with the distinctive angled edge on both sides of the mat. Each side of the paver was fitted with a different model of the Safety EdgeSM shoe to provide more diversity to the demonstration.

Officials say the cost to adding a Safety EdgeSM to an existing pavement design is minimal, and 12

that it may even provide temporary safety benefits while a road is under construction and no shoulderbacking has been applied adjacent to the paved surface. Initial benefits may include reduced raveling, increased pavement edge durability and overall reduced crashes over the life of the pavement.

The cost of off-the-shelf paver attachments, called “shoes,” which are adjustable and reusable, range from about $1,400 to $4,500 per device. No change in paving speed or other production has been encountered in the demonstration project, officials say.

Research on pavement-edge crashes is still evolving, and federal officials are cautious about making broad claims about the number of lives that could be saved with the full implementation of the Safety EdgeSM. Nonetheless, a growing body of evidence does suggest that the design change does have merit. According to the FHWA, approximately 57 percent of fatal crashes nationally include roadway departures.

Researchers in Iowa found that pavement edges may have contributed up to 18 percent of rural run-off road crashes between 2002 and 2004. In Missouri, a similar study concluded that pavement edges might have been a factor in up to 25 percent of such crashes.

In a report sponsored by the FHWA, “Safety Evaluation of the Safety Edge” (Publication No. FHWA-HRT-11-024) published in April of 2011, found that in its research of two states’ data “indicated that the best estimate of effectiveness of the Safety EdgeSM treatment for all two-lane highway sites in two states is an approximately 5.7 percent reduction in total crashes.” DOT’s in Colorado, Georgia, Indiana and New York provided study sites for the evaluation.

Because safety is such a sensitive issue, both the California Highway Patrol and Caltrans declined to be quoted for this article, although both agencies have long been on the record supporting safety on the part of roadway design and motorist behavior.

After numerous meetings and evaluations, Caltrans has included in its most recent published edition of its standard specifications language on the edge treatment for both asphalt and concrete pavements. The asphalt pavement is under “Section 39-1.03E Edge Treatments” of the Caltrans specifications. The specification notes that the angle of the pavement slope “must not deviate by more than ± 5 degrees” from the angle shown when measured from the angle of the horizontal [ Continued on page 14 ]

plane of the adjacent finished pavement surface. If paving is done in multiple lifts, “the safety edge treatment must be placed with each lift.” The language for concrete edge treatments is contained in “Section 40-1.03I Edge Treatment” of the Caltrans specifications.

In the case of concrete, the sloped edge can be added after the pavement has been placed, as was done recently on a major project on I-80 in the Sierra. In asphalt pavement applications, the sloped edge is done “monolithic” as part of the regular paving operation.

A Caltrans memorandum to District Directors dated June 1, 2012 from Steve Takigawa, Deputy Director, Maintenance & Operations, and Robert Pieplow, 14

Acting Deputy Director, Project Delivery, officially triggered the implementation of the Safety EdgeSM at Caltrans. The memo noted that implementation of Safety EdgeSM “is included as an Action Item in the ‘Implementation of the California Strategic Highway Safety Plan.’”

The memo further directed that the effective date for the change was Oct. 1, 2012, and said, “The Safety EdgeSM should be incorporated on all projects that include pavement items unless a specific condition can be documented that would preclude the benefit of adding the feature.”

Specifically, the directive called for the following exceptions to the Safety Edge standard: • Next to curbs, dikes, guardrails, barriers, walls, and landscape paving.

• Where the distance from the edge of the pavement shoulder to the hinge point is less than 1 foot and there is not enough room for the Safety Edge.

• Within 3 feet of driveways or intersections.

• On pavement overlays that are less than 0.15 feet thick.

As the Safety EdgeSM slowly makes its way into pavement projects, it may represent a lasting legacy of a young driver who died on a Georgia roadway more than a decade ago, along with another more personal legacy: the beating heart of his 15-year-old passenger offered by his parents to an organ-donation program.

5 Requirements for Intelligent Compaction

By Chris Mata, Tom King, & Al Hodson

Introduction

Did you know a process called Intelligent Compaction (IC) has been revolutionizing the paving industry? But what is IC, and how can a paving contractor use it to make his businesses more efficient, accurate and profitable?

“Intelligent Compaction” refers to the compaction of road materials using rollers equipped with measurement systems and onboard computer reporting systems using GPS mapping. Countrywide, the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) and Federal Highway Administration have started requiring contractors to use Compaction Control Technology. Federally-funded highway projects now require stringent documentation, Quality Accuracy and Quality Control (QA/QC) data, and warranty provisions. The technology discussed in this white paper is derived from Intelligent Compaction essentials.

In order to achieve Intelligent Compaction and remain competitive in today’s paving environment, contractors need five things: Precision Mapping, Pass Count Tracking, Compaction Control, Temperature Mapping and Documentation of Quality Assurance and Quality Control. Compaction technology enables contractors to build a better surface, reduce material use and significantly improve productivity. The more you use these tools, the more productive and profitable your paving operations will be.

using either 2D or 3D paving control systems. The control box for these systems offers graphical displays with adjustable light settings for both day or night paving.

Traditional paving methods often result in wasted materials and potential fines. Projects such as airports, large commercial surfaces and highways require accuracy. Precision paving with less material is achievable with the right equipment. GPS mapping technology eliminates time-consuming and costly human errors. An accurate 3D control increases road smoothness while using less asphalt than traditional paving methods.

Pass Count Tracking

Intelligent Compaction requires Pass Count Mapping and daily inspections. To reach desired compaction, the compactor operator needs to achieve a certain pass target. With some jobs requiring up to eight passes, any operator can easily lose track of exact pass count. When this happens, a contractor cannot monitor compaction performance or verify accurate completion of the compaction job. Pass Count Mapping monitors the number of passes over an area and adjusts the effort to avoid over-or under-compaction. More importantly, contractors are able to guarantee accurate compaction.

Precision Mapping

Every job has different needs and Precision Mapping— also referred to as location referencing—takes the guesswork out of asphalt compaction. Accurate mapping leads to more consistent compaction.

Precision Mapping uses satellite data to make rollers more efficient. The position of the roller is established through Global Positioning Satellites (GPS). A GPS antenna is most often mounted on top of the roller’s cab. That GPS enables Precision Mapping, which allows operators to raise productivity by utilizing the most efficient rolling pattern. The operator’s pattern can be viewed by 16

Common issues seen today in the field are: • The operator loses track of his passes and the job becomes guesswork

California Asphalt Magazine • 2014 Equipment Guide Issue

• The supervisor cannot monitor pass count performance and cannot verify accurate completion of the compaction job • Inconsistent density • Under-compaction or over-compaction • Penalties, missed bonuses, premature road failure and legal issues Pass Count Mapping takes the guesswork out of asphalt compaction. It results in more consistent achievement of target pass count and increases productivity by taking the most efficient rolling pattern. Compaction density is tracked and recorded to insure proper compaction, eliminating the risk of penalties.

Pass Count Mapping requires a roof-mounted GPS receiver, a control box and a Connected Site Link. The system calculates the exact position of the machine and displays a color map and scale indicating the current number of passes and where an operator has overlaps or gaps. Productivity reporting includes system usage, compaction terrain logging and machine productivity statistics.

For office reporting, data can manually be logged using a modem, or automatically logged on the cloud. The cloud allows project managers to view realtime data using Wireless Data Synchronization via a Wi-Fi or cellular connection.

Compaction Control

The asphalt compactor is the last machine to pass over a paving project, and mistakes during this phase can be very costly to fix. Traditional compaction measurements use a nuclear density gauge to test a sample of a site. Today, Compaction Control systems use an accelerometer to measure Compaction Meter Value (CMV)1, Resonance Meter Value (RMV)2, Frequency3 and Amplitude4. These systems eliminate much of the guesswork from asphalt compaction and help contractors achieve more consistent compaction to target design density. Real-time view detects where compaction does not meet design specs and immediately notifies the operator while recording the data to the cloud*. This alleviates the use of traditional methods for validation of problem areas: contractors can significantly reduce the need for rework by installing a Compaction Control system on their asphalt compactors.

Compaction Control identifies compaction problems early, allowing contractors to fix them in the construction process. It significantly

reduces the threat of rework. Compaction Control eliminates the need for a test roller which reduces transportation costs and leads to less maintenance on machines.

Jobs requiring the use of Intelligent Compaction will ask for an Intelligent Compaction Measurement Value (ICMV). It is essential to have an accelerometer, which should only be placed on the front drum of a machine. An accelerometer-based ICMV is a composite of the current lift and the layers below it.

Compaction Control systems are compatible with all asphalt compactors. The wiring harness and brackets are permanently installed for optimal fit and integration with the machine Intelligent body. These components can be Compaction used on a wide range of paving positions and earthmoving machines to operators to roll increase utilization and more. a more efficient Intelligent Compaction positions pattern, increase operators to roll a more efficient pattern, increase productivity and productivity, and save fuel. save fuel.

The Compaction Control system displays and records the following: • Machine Position (GNSS) • Machine Pass Count/Coverage • Compaction Width • Asphalt Temperature • Compaction Measurements (soils) • Vibratory Status (on/off/rear/both) • Vibratory Frequency • Machine Speed • Direction of travel (forward, reverse) *For office reporting compaction modules have the ability to automatically log data to the cloud.

Infrared Temperature Mapping

Today, it is an art for the operator to correctly judge the optimal temperature window for compaction. According to the DOT asphalt should be compacted between 175 to 320 degrees Fahrenheit, although this can vary depending on the asphalt mix.

In general asphalt becomes too stiff to compact at 175 degrees Fahrenheit.

Traditionally, the operator would have a second person using a heat gun to gauge the asphalt’s temperature. With the use of Infrared Temperature Mapping, contractors can save time and money on paving projects. Asphalt contractors need to better understand the temperature of the material they are compacting in order to prevent displacing material that is too hot or damaging an asphalt surface that is too cold to compact.

When rolling on asphalt below 175°, material is too hard to compact and at anything above 320°, the material becomes too soft and can be displaced. The asphalt temperature is critical to the amount of compaction and the time available for compaction. Infrared Temperature Mapping takes away the guesswork by measuring real-time surface temperatures, thus enabling the operator to find the optimal window for compaction.

Not all asphalt mixtures are the same, and with temperature mapping users can define custom minimum and maximum values. The defined high and low temperature warnings are displayed over the machine icon in all of the plan view maps, enabling operators to watch the pass count map and still get warnings if the temperature is too high or too low.

Sensors are installed on the front and rear drum to measure surface temperature of the mat in the direction of operation. The system automatically switches between using the front and rear sensors so that the leading sensor is always indicated on the in-cab control box. The operator sees accurate temperature information on the asphalt surface about to be compacted, before the temperature drop caused by the wet steel drum passing over the hot mat.

With Infrared Temperature Mapping, an operator is informed and equipped to have a better understanding of material conditions on the job. This improves consistency of density and smoothness. The temperature data can be accessed and displayed on a color map, and may be recorded for further analysis with the use of office software packages once the job is complete.

Documentation of Quality Assurance and Quality Control

Compaction is one of the most critical processes when paving a highway. Conventional rolling equipment has worked reasonably well over the years; however, there have been several innovations in paving technology that has greatly improved pavement construction. Compaction Reporting is beneficial for site engineers, project managers and contractors.

18

Documentation of Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) is becoming a standard in Federal project bids. Advanced Compaction Control and documentation Compaction provides a real-time summary Reporting is of compaction data. Infield beneficial for reporting and an in-cab printer site engineers, allow on-site supervisors and project managers quality managers to monitor and contractors. compaction operations and correct possible issues immediately.

Intelligent Compaction technology greatly reduces the number of manual compaction tests needed, which lowers testing costs and necessitates fewer samples to tag and store.

Compaction data logs can be wirelessly transferred from the machine to the office for analysis using web-based fleet, asset and productivity management solutions. This technology generates electronic data of results, allowing post-process quality control and analysis that can be viewed on any desktop or laptop computer.

Keeping track of historical records of jobsite data are a lot easier with this equipment, and it correlates with long-term results that can be referred to on demand. It is essential to have verification that target criteria have been met on all Intelligent Compaction jobs.

Conclusion

As implementation of Compaction Control technology becomes standard for paving jobsites, the use of these techniques and equipment are becoming more than a smart choice: it’s becoming a paving requirement for the majority of Federal contracts nationwide.

Precision Mapping, Pass Count Tracking, Compaction Control, Infrared Temperature Mapping, and Documentation of Quality Assurance and Quality Control are all necessary to qualify for jobs listing Intelligent Compaction as a bid requirement. The benefits are: faster material inspections, reduction of human errors, improved in-place density, more efficient compaction operations, better pavement performance, longerlife pavements, and clear data for archival and warranty work documentation.

Entry into Intelligent Compaction can be overwhelming. But this technology can be integrated into existing paving fleets. Data management and integration of soft- ware packages can be taught by vendors at the point of sale and during implementation of Intelligent

New Member Spotlight

Where the People, Products, Knowledge and Distribution Make the Difference

By Brian Hoover

P

roper maintenance and preservation of asphalt pavement saves owners and managers of streets, highways and parking lots millions of dollars each year. In addition to the economic benefits, these preservation methods also serve to keep our driving surfaces safe and smooth. The old adage, “Nothing Lasts Forever” is certainly also true where pavements are concerned.

Although pavement technologies have never been more resilient than they are today, the steady punishment and deterioration from traffic, weather and Father Time in general make it necessary for our industry to provide long-term strategies to enhance pavement performance. Pavement owners and managers are always looking for cost-effective ways to extend pavement life and this issue’s new member spotlight focus, Crafco, Inc., is a leader and innovator in this particular area.

Crafco Inc. (Crafco) provides their customers with a comprehensive line of Pavement Preservation Products including: crack sealant, patching products, geo-composites and related application equipment. Tom Kelly is Crafco’s national sales manager. “It all started back in the early 70’s, when the world 32

was experiencing its first oil crisis,” explains Kelly. “Oil skyrocketed and the cost of building roads quadrupled overnight. The paving industry quickly began to look for ways to better maintain pavement toward greater longevity.”

In 1973, the founders of Crafco began to experiment and soon developed a process of incorporating recycled tire rubber into asphalt to create a flexible barrier that would prevent moisture from entering pavement cracks.

Their hard work paid off, as they successfully developed a crack sealant that remained stable and performed well in both warm and cold temperatures. With their base of operations in Phoenix, Crafco began to sell their product to a specific Arizona contractor, who successfully utilized the new crack sealant on a variety of asphalt pavement surfaces.

Crafco then incorporated in 1976, and they began to take their patented product to contractors across the entire country.

The next logical step for Crafco was to develop a crack sealant melter/applicator. They engineered and marketed an exceptional machine lineup from their manufacturing facility in Chandler, Ariz. that has enjoyed great success throughout the United States and worldwide. The Crafco Super Shot Melter/Applicator

offers eight models from 60 gallon to 250 gallon, and they are among the most technologically advanced melter/applicators available on the market. Their standard engineered features make the operation of these melter/applicators safe and easy to operate, while offering industry-leading production.

Crafco manufactures the EZ Pour 50, an entry-level crack sealant melter designed for tight spaces, parking lots and small task pavement maintenance projects.

The EZ Pour 50 is the smallest oil-jacketed, auto-agitated melter available on either a trailer or skid mount. The ideal size for small projects, the EZ Pour 50 also offers one-hour heat-up time, continuous agitation and thermostatic temperature control.

Crafco also offers the EZ Series II Melter/Applicators that provides an unparalleled heat efficiency ratio and the fastest heat up time available.

performance products. With six sealant manufacturing facilities across the U.S., Crafco offers sealants, patching products, adhesives and detack. All of their sealant specifications meet and exceed Federal and State recommendations. “We do a lot of work with cities and counties, assisting them with their pavement preservation programs,” says Kelly. “Agencies have limited budgets and our large rental fleet helps them get the job done without having to make that big capital expenditure.” Crafco also works closely with State and Federal Highway Administrations, Airport Authorities and Town and County Road Departments to recommend and advise them on the best product for their pavement condition. In addition, ASTM, AASHTO, FHWA and other groups rely on Crafco’s experience to help write quality specifications.

Crafco produces Roadsaver, Parking Lot Sealant, PolyFlex Sealant, PolyPatch, TechCrete, Loop Detector Sealant, Pavement Joint Adhesive, Super Flex Sealant and custom specified sealant. They also offer Geo Composite Waterproofing Systems, a product that helps improve, maintain and waterproof bridge decks. With the acquisition of Deery American and the Deery

Brand products, Crafco’s sealant selection offerings have increased and they now have facilities in Cheyenne, Wyo. and Youngstown, Ohio, to better serve their clients.

Crafco also offers a wide variety of pavement patching products for asphalt and concrete alike. HP Asphalt high performance cold patch is specifically formulated for the wide-ranging temperature and climate and is ideal for patching that reoccurring pothole or for utility cuts. Crafco makes HP Asphalt Cold Patch and HP Concrete Cold Patch. Crafco PolyPatch and Mastic One are both specifically designed for cracks too large for crack sealing and distressed surfaces that are too small for repaving.

TechCrete is a proven superior repair solution, whose flexibility and high tensile strength offer long lasting concrete repair. “We purchased our Fontana facility in 2003 and will be opening our new Sacramento operation by the end of this year,” says Kelly. “We are and will be manufacturing and distributing crack sealant products, as well as our bagged asphalt cold patch at these two facilities. This facility will represent one of our full service Paving Maintenance Supply, Inc. (PMSI) stores, a division of Crafco, Inc. These

stores carry more than Crafco products and include anything that is needed to maintain and preserve pavements on roads and parking lots.”

Tom Kelly makes it clear that the best product in the world would not be worth much at all without the support of the right people. “We have a number of certified distributors throughout California, the U.S. and the world. We also have the finest in the industry working for us at all of our material and equipment facilities,” says Kelly. “We carefully choose the companies and individuals that we have representing our products and you can expect the same industry leading service and support whether you are dealing with Crafco direct or one of our distributors.” Tom points out that Crafco has the highest quality standards in the industry.

“We are here to support our customers at any time of the day or night with service and support that are truly second to none,” continues Kelly. “Gary Lewis and Candace Carlson both manage our Fontana facility and Tim Edwards is our sales manager in Northern California. We are very excited about the future and look forward to continuing to improve our service to our customers.” [ Continued on page 30 ]

Congratulations to BoDean Santa Rosa for Proving that: “You Can’t Beat the System . . .

(Blue Smoke Control, that is!)”

Clean Asphalt Production Now an Everyday Reality at BoDean

Mike Butler, CEO Blue Smoke Control A Division of Butler-Justice, Inc.

“

During the painful process of permitting our plant to operate within this urban Santa Rosa setting, we committed to installing the most efficient Blue Smoke Collector available. Blue Smoke Control provided solutions that met the needs of our city while satisfying the local Air District . . . and that makes us extremely happy.”

— Bill Williams, BoDean Company—

Over the past decade, our Blue Smoke Control group has become the leading provider of blue smoke control systems for the hot mix asphalt industry throughout California, the United States and Mexico.

One of our most challenging and successful installations is at BoDean Company’s Santa Rosa, California plant. BoDean came to us with a somewhat common request these days: “How do we integrate our plant operation into an urban environment and make friends, not enemies, in the surrounding community?”

Patented Collectors and Filters Result in Clean Production

We have worked extremely hard on technological breakthroughs that do just what they wanted: ...to bring the highest standards of asphalt pollution control while achieving reasonable initial investment costs and economical ongoing operational and maintenance expenses.

As in all of our The batch plant is controlled by Blue Smoke Control’s applications, Model 6-S12-C 24,000 cfm collector.

Blue Smoke collectors use highly- effective proprietary filters to achieve what we believe is the cleanest plant currently operating anywhere. The final filter is 95% efficient at .3 microns, which is over 30 times more efficient than the Air District’s requirement to control emissions of particulate smaller than 10 microns.
