For durable asphalt paving and lasting HMA paving performance, mastering the longitudinal joint compaction process is absolutely critical. The longitudinal joint is often the weakest point in any paved structure, acting as the primary entry point for moisture and the common origin for premature cracking and pavement failure. Achieving maximum, uniform density at this specific seam is non-negotiable for long-term pavement quality and successful road construction.
Follow the link below to read our full longitudinal joint article and learn the essential techniques and best practices to ensure your asphalt paving joints are compacted correctly, guaranteeing a strong, continuous, and long-lasting road surface.
