The Airport Asphalt Pavement Technology Program (AAPTP) continues to deliver on its charge to provide resources for the asphalt pavement industry to advance airfield solutions in the realms of design, construction, and materials.
The latest AAPTP product builds on the success of other deliverables, like the Airfield Asphalt Binder Selection Tool, by pulling together several topical videos on airfield paving into a single series.
The Asphalt Airfield Video Series showcases content from the newest Asphalt Paving Handbook and is beneficial for anyone involved in designing, producing, or constructing airfields for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
The video series explores quality assurance and quality control tests, as well as topics like reporting, ticketing, and tracking. One video examines the best practices for preventing segmentation of the mix when it’s loaded into the truck, while another takes a closer look at echelon paving, aimed at reducing longitudinal joints on airfields.
Congress included continued funding for the AAPTP in the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024, and additional funding for the program was announced in February.
