What has changed?

Control, growth drive plant investment

Tri-County Paving Inc. invests in Dillman drum plant to expand operation and control the flow of product to paving projects.

The used equipment in the plant package included a refurbished six-bin aggregate cold feed system with a refurbished 5' x 14' single deck aggregate screen and a refurbished 30' x 70' aggregate scale conveyor.

Soil Stabilization Equipment

Soil stabilization meets nuclear power plant needs

Editor's Perspective

George Reed goes green

Asphalt producer/contractor selects Astec double barrel with green technology as first drum plant to meet growing demand and California environmentally-friendly culture.

With the addition of the high-production drum facility, the company is expected to produce over 1.7 million tons of mix this year. The investment in warm mix technology will undoubtedly lead to some additional growth opportunities.

Micro-surfacing provides cost-effective solution

With limited budgets, three Massachusetts municipalities stretch their road maintenance dollars to maintain quality roads.

Roads that are in good to fair condition (with a rating of 60 to 70 percent) are ideal candidates for micro-surfacing.
