Best Practices Placing Mix on Asphalt Joints

Location and amount of HMA material affect joint life

This is the proper amount of mix overlap from lane 2 to lane 1. In this case, the amount of overlap is in the range of 1 to 1-1/2 inches. Given this amount of overlap, no mix has to be moved off of the top of lane 1. No raking of the mix at the longitudinal joint is needed.

Understanding and Adapting to Market Limitations

How – and why – California’s Prestige Striping Services became Prestige Paving Co.

While United Paving Co. was “growing into a monster,” Trujillo says it was creating a problem for Prestige Striping.

It got to the point where we had to change or go under.”
