Balanced Mix Design Process Proves to Be Highly Successful
BMD from page 37
increased recycling were not enough, the cost savings of the new BMD specification alone made the changes a huge win for all parties and shows how much promise BMD implementation offers to the asphalt industry.
Innovative
The simple BMD specification lifted the volumetric requirements and established criteria tied to local field mixture performance, freeing the producer to develop new and innovative approaches to meet performance expectations, realize economic advantages, remain environmentally conscious by using local and recycled materials, and leverage technology to enhance performance. While the new performance requirements led to a significant increase in the most expensive component of the mix — asphalt binder — producers found innovative ways to contain, and even reduce, overall costs. BMD specification has been embraced by contractors that are finding methods to increase mixture performance, embrace innovation and reduce costs. The counties plan to continue using the specification, as they have seen quality improvement in the mixtures. Contractors have reported mixes are easier to place and compact.
The new specification captured the attention of the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) and counties throughout the state. ALDOT has a longterm plan for implementing BMD, which includes state-level shadow projects and trial projects. While researchers continue to learn more about BMD testing methods, sample conditioning options, and local threshold performance limits, simple BMD is hard at work in Alabama counties advancing safe, durable, and sustainable asphalt pavements.

Page 44 • November 27, 2021 • www.constructionequipmentguide.com •Paving Section• Construction Equipment Guide Latest Season of NAPA’s ‘Pave It Black’ Podcast Spotlights Tech Innovations
By Tom Gresham
New technologies are reshaping the asphalt pavement industry, and the pace of change is accelerating as hightech tools grow both more sophisticated and accessible. During Season 3 of “Pave It Black,” NAPA’s podcast covering the people and issues affecting the industry, hosts Richard Willis and Brett Williams interviewed industry experts to dig deeper into the innovations that are most affecting the realm of asphalt pavement — and that promise to change the way the industry operates long into the future.
Episode 1: “What Is Innovation?”
In Episode 1, Nicholas Webb, founder and CEO of LeaderLogic and the keynote speaker at the 2020 NAPA Annual Meeting, detailed his thoughts on the concept of innovation and how it promises to impact the asphalt pavement industry. He emphasized that meaningful innovations often are “less about bright, shiny objects” and about creating “layered value that serves your customer and your organization” and improving processes.
“If we can be active observers and pay attention to ways to improve the quality of life of our customers and our stakeholders, we can do some really incredible things that have big impacts,” Webb said. “You don’t have to create an iPad in order to deliver value to the universe. Some of the greatest innovations have been simple, straightforward, and, by many people’s definition, almost obvious.”
Webb’s appearance set the stage for a season filled with first-person accounts from operators into the many ways that technology-based innovations are altering the way they do business.
Episode 2: “It’s Electric”
Dan Gallagher, president of Gallagher Asphalt, discussed the growing electrification of vehicles and how that affects the asphalt industry — an industry funded in part by gas taxes through the Highway Trust Fund. Gallagher said he believes electrification of vehicles ranging from trucks to pavers will “offer a lot of advantages” for the industry and that the funding now coming from gas usage can be replaced with other efforts. “I’m really optimistic that there are a lot of good options for paying for roads through some kind of user fee,” Gallagher said.
Episode 3: “Innovation = Business Opportunities”
Katie Peabody, senior business analyst with Lakeside Industries, joined “Pave It Black” to discuss the farreaching impact of new developments in computing technology. “Everything is definitely evolving,” she said. “As an organization, we realize the importance of these technologies in order to continue to thrive in the industry, even though it isn’t always easy to adopt and utilize technology. If we don’t start embracing the tools available to us across all the technology platforms, there could really be missed opportunities to grow the business … [and] stay relevant within the industry.”
Episode 4: “Big Data in the Asphalt Industry”
Dan Ridolfi, president of Californiabased LASTRADA Partners, dove into how data analytics and artificial intelligence can help operators “focus on what matters.” Ridolfi explained, “What we have the ability to do today is expand the databases, and that’s kind of what’s exciting about our world. I’ve been in this industry for 20 years, and I’ve watched in the last five to 10 [years] technology really start to get integrated in our industry. And now the next iteration for us is to bring that data together.”
Brent Carron, president of Valley Paving in Minnesota, explained the benefits of thermal profiling, a tool not widely used in the industry, but one that offers an opportunity for contractors to ensure high-quality asphalt pavements. “Once you see the thermal profile, it might get your mind rolling into some different ideas,” Carron said. “I think with all technology, you find things out in your process that you’re not thinking about in the development stage. And you can use this information in many other ways to improve your quality, rather than just meeting the requirement. And I think that’s the key benefit to this.”
Episode 6: “Going Paperless”
Dan Ganoe, vice president of operations for Lindy Paving in Pennsylvania, discussed the implementation of e-ticketing and how to move to a paperless world. “We’ve been exploring e-ticketing in one shape or fashion over the past 10 years,” Ganoe said. “Internally [we] use it for our own benefit as far as being able to get a visual idea of where crews are production-wise and where plants are production-wise throughout the day, the night, and the weekend. Over the past four years, it seems there’s been a lot more movement within the field to move toward e-ticketing.”

‘Pave It Black’ Podcast Addresses New Technology Affecting Asphalt Pavement
PODCAST from page 44
Episode 7: “Robots Help in the Work Zone”
During National Work Zone Awareness Week, Todd Hendricks, Jr., president of Ohio-based Pioneer Industrial Systems, shared that his company is pursuing two robotics solutions for road maintenance projects: sealing cracks on roads and setting and picking up cones in work zones. Hendricks observed that a wide range of robotics possibilities exist to help get workers out of dangerous situations. “It’s all being driven by worker safety. It’s a tough job,” Hendricks said. “And that’s some of the attractiveness here … making it safe, putting them in the controlled environment of the truck cab versus being on the road, and trying to improve some efficiency along the way.”
Episode 8: “Efficient Fleet Management”
Mike Wills, area manager for California-based Granite Construction, said technology is allowing for much more efficient deployment of trucks to sites, such as through an app that Granite uses with drivers. “It’s like a big glass window that we have to break through,” Wills said. “Because there is a lot of resistance, we still have brokers that don’t want to do it. But once we’ve broken through that window, and people see the benefits to all parties, once they get past that, and really embrace this, they won’t go back.”
Episode 9: “The Dynamics of Asphalt Plant Management”
Ben Adomyetz, sales representative and estimator for the Rogers Group in Alabama, described how software can help asphalt operators plan, track, and communicate, such as during the transition from the bidding process for a project to the project itself. “At some point in time, there’s got to be this project handoff, where the information that was bid goes through a filter or a clearinghouse during the budgeting process and that becomes the bridge,” Adomyetz said. “That brings us to where the boots on the ground are. That’s going from macro to micro, getting down to the actual job of what we’re doing, and how we get there.”
Episode 10: “Doing More with Drones”
Carl Pittman, a civil engineer with Apac Mississippi, and Jessica Lewis, a graduate student at Mississippi State, provided their insight into the ways that drones have increased safety and efficiency at project and plant sites. “The real success in a drone program is going to come down to how you use that data,” Pittman said. “You can go collect all the data you want. If it sits in an Excel spreadsheet, and never goes anywhere, you’re not really doing much with it. Our big successes come after ‘the fly’ and after the process and what we do with that data and how to use it to benefit our operations.” (Reprinted with permission from the National Asphalt Pavement Association)

The CEO oversees three global business units (GBUs), which are tasked with profitably and sustainably growing their businesses: • Agriculture — Derek Neilson, president • Construction — Stefano Pampalone, president • Financial Services — Oddone Incisa, president
The following areas, which report to the CEO, are integrated into the GBUs, driving strategic growth by swiftly identifying, creating and deploying relevant solutions:

Operating at global level in direct support of the CEO and the effective execution of the GBUs and corporate regions are the following corporate staff functions: • Diversity & Inclusion, Sustainability and Transformation — Kelly Tolbert, chief diversity & inclusion, sustainability and transformation officer • Corporate Development — Michele Lombardi, senior vice president of corporate development • Internal Audit — Carlo De Bernardi, senior vice president of internal audit • Communications — Laura Overall, senior vice president of communications
“Our new streamlined structure will drive improved results by empowering front-line managers, accelerating decision-making across our organization, and holding us accountable to our customers,” said Wine. “I wish to congratulate the full SLT on their appointments and thank them for their strong leadership. Their comprehensive knowledge and diverse experience qualify them as the core group to lead us forward. With their guidance and our customer-centric mindset and structure, we are positioned to compete and win in our vast, global agriculture and construction equipment markets.”

BRIDGE from page 1 gantry cranes. This truss replaced a 3-million-lb. structure, which is being dismantled with the help of a John Deere 470G excavator with a 995R Genesis shear attachment, obtained by Walsh from Erb Equipment Co.
Brent Phelps, territory sales representative of Erb, the local John Deere dealership in St. Louis, was on site with Walsh Construction’s Chad Barton, project engineer, as they discussed the project and the equipment.
Replacing the trusses will allow service to return on both tracks and eliminate the current weight restriction, relieving congestion and reducing delays for maritime and vehicular traffic.

The $222 million project to replace the Merchants Bridge that links Missouri and Illinois at downtown St. Louis reached a major milestone Sept. 17, with the first of three new trusses being installed.
