This technology deployment eff ort provided knowledge and experience in the placement and evaluation of warm mix asphalt. In doing so, it provided specific information to the agency and construction industry in the potential for this technology to be used in future FLH construction projects. This roadway will be monitored to evaluate the performance of these mixtures in order to evaluate the long-term performance of the warm mix asphalt when compared to conventional hot mix.
It was beneficial to provide an opportunity for the contractor to be in "full production" mode for the placement of these materials as this provided a valuable evaluation of this technology. This technology shows promise and could have a large impact in the paving industry.
At this point in time it is premature to advance to a standard specification; however, FLH will continue to pursue the placement and evaluation of warm mix technologies. As these evaluations continue, FLH will use this information to develop a standard specification for use.
