As an asphalt quality control lab CTI-Construction Testing & Inspection, inc. is responsible for determining the consistency, durability, and performance of asphalt materials used in FDOT construction projects. This is achieved by conducting various tests on asphalt materials to assess their physical properties, such as density, viscosity, penetration, and ductility. We are also involved in designing asphalt mixtures tailored to the specific needs of a project; by analyzing different aggregate and binder combinations to create mix designs that offer optimal performance in terms of strength, durability, and flexibility.
Our qualified team of inspectors perform quality control tests to verify that asphalt mixtures produced by asphalt plants meet specified requirements under the Florida Department of Transportation (Department) Quality Control (QC)
Program. This involves sampling asphalt mixes, conducting tests on the samples, and ensuring they meet desired performance criteria before and during construction.
Asphalt Field Inspection
Our team of Asphalt Field Field Inspectors are qualified through the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Construction Training and Qualification Program (CTQP).
Asphalt Lab Inspection Services
Our team of Asphalt Lab Inspectors are qualified through the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Construction Training and Qualification Program (CTQP).
We provide Asphalt Lab Calibrations Services which involve verifying the accuracy of various equipment used in the lab, such as temperature gauges, scales, sieves, viscometers, and asphalt binder testing equipment. Routine lab calibrations ensures that measurements taken by these instruments are precise and consistent. Calibrations may also involve standardizing testing procedures to ensure uniformity and accuracy in test results. This may include establishing protocols for sample preparation, testing conditions, data recording, and analysis techniques.
