More and more owners are becoming aware of the need to increase their knowledge related to the design, production and inspection of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) pavements. The need to understand the differences between a structural focused mix and a durable focused mix is necessary to be able to select the proper mix for the application, but even more paramount is the need to be able to verify that the desired mix has been properly produced and placed in the field.

This course seeks to demystify commonly used standards and applications associated with the inspection and construction of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) pavements in Utah, and to explain the best practices and common approaches to understanding and implementing associated sampling and testing procedures, checklists, and specifications needed to produce the best performing pavements.

Paying it Forward

UAPA’s Scholarship Award helps to ensure the future of the asphalt pavement industry in Utah. Its purpose is to support Utah students who are pursuing education or technical training.

UAPA is responsible for forging so many strong industry relationships that positively impacts the industry. I have been with this group since the beginning and to see the growth trajectory is very rewarding. I know we make a difference.

I truly believe that when we come together as an industry, we amplify the best of the collective, and we all benefit. As an industry we are more educated, more professional, and I think we all see more business as a result. The association lets us take a step back, and as a board and organization, we can work “on” the industry, as well as “in” the industry.

I think the opportunities to meet customers and getting to know them is so important.

I believe that membership in UAPA has been a tremendous help with our relationships with our clients. By engaging with the trade group that our customer base is allied with, our existing customers and potential customers see us as allied with them - which we are. It’s good for us, and good for them, as we now have common ground. We share a purpose that is higher than just the day-to-day operations. We share a common industry vision.

UAPA is a great advocate for the industry, which is important as the industry grows.

I think it’s the unified voice of our industry that UAPA provides. We’re an industry that will see the effects of population and infrastructure growth. There are a lot of moving parts, and being on the same page as the asphalt industry is very important for all of us that work within this industry.

Construction is an industry where you learn by doing … especially when it comes to pavement preservation. There isn’t a degree in how to best preserve pavement; you learn from those who have experience in the industry. Membership in UAPA is a great way to find mentorship and gain industry specific education.”

Membership in UAPA offers numerous benefits and keeps our members on top of important, ever-changing issues, trends and legislation within our industry.

Many of our members, however, believe the greatest benefit of being a member is the networking and camaraderie between members within our organization. The owners and employees of your company benefit, and membership also makes a positive statement to your customers. Engagement in your trade association demonstrates your commitment to staying abreast of current developments in the industry. If you are a member, we thank you for your continued renewal and if you are not, we hope that you consider joining.
