Asphalt Paving Construction Supervisor
Overview
Asphalt paving construction productivity depends on the smooth running of laying operations and effective contractual relationships. Poor construction practices often lead to surface defects, incorrect layer thickness and shape problems. It is easy to underestimate the costs associated with rework and/or the repair of asphalt surfacing that competent supervision would have avoided in the first place.
