World of Asphalt 2006 will feature a live equipment demonstration event that illustrates technological advances in road building techniques.

 

The event is themed “Best Practices with New Technology,” and will feature a variety of outdoor equipment in working conditions.

 

The equipment will operate across six lanes and demonstrate warm mix asphalt operations, including milling, brooming, tacking, paving, rolling and testing. Equipment will be accessible after the event for attendees to take a closer look.

 

The demonstration is free of charge to all show attendees, and a simultaneous interpretation into Spanish will be offered.

 

The demonstration is being spearheaded by the National Asphalt Pavement Association’s (NAPA) Associate Member Council, under the direction of Chuck Deahl, national accounts manager of Bomag Americas, Kewanee, Ill., and David Apkarian, president of Transtech Systems, Schenectady, N.Y. NAPA is a World of Asphalt co-owner.
