Asphalt industry will need a robust workforce to maintain and build new roads to handle traffic increase.

Fleming, originally from the United Kingdom, has 33 years of construction equipment experience, 19 of them in paving and teaching others how to pave around the world - from the United States, Europe, Australia, China, and the Middle East.

"The instructors have performed this work in the field."
