The compaction operation is the final, critical step in the construction process of a durable asphalt pavement. This webinar will provide the attendee with a solid background on how compaction works and present best practices for conducting the compaction process that results in a durable, long-lasting and smooth asphalt pavement.

Topics to be discussed are:

• Importance of compaction and density
• Balancing the compaction operation with plant production, hauling and paving operation
• Roller types and how they work
• Phases of the compaction operation
• Factors that affect the compaction process
• Best practices for obtaining density
• Best practices for pavement smoothness
