Fugro Consultants Pavement Group Laboratory Services, established in 1997, is an independent and AMRL accredited hot mix asphalt (HMA) materials analysis laboratory providing testing services to refineries, contractors, suppliers, agencies and other user-producer groups. Fugro Consultants offers a comprehensive range of HMA testing services maintaining the highest quality test equipment and trained personnel. The laboratory is also equipped to perform testing procedures corresponding with the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) including the state-of-the-art system known as SUPERPAVE.

Fugro has conducted quality control testing of hot-mix asphalt in both a central lab and in the field for many years. We are nationally recognized for the work completed on a federally funded program tasked with developing Quality Control and Quality Acceptance (QC/QA) procedures for the production and construction of traditional and Superpave mixes.

All testing procedures performed through Fugro Consultants follow current ASTM and AASHTO specifications for materials testing. Tests and services provided by the Laboratory include:

• Asphalt Binder Testing (traditional and SHRP performance graded asphalts)
• Asphalt Mix Design (Marshall, Hveem, Superpave Volumetric Mix Design)
• Aggregate Testing
• QC/QA Services (HMA - Traditional & SHRP; Binder - Traditional & SHRP)
• Research Projects
• Field Support Services

Fugro is recognized as an industry leader in many aspects of the Superpave system. Our staff was involved in the original development of Superpave as a technical consultant to SHRP and maintains an active role in the enhancement of the system through efforts funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation - Federal Highway Administration (USDOT & FHWA) and AASHTO.

Additional Services Offered: Superpave Training and Implementation

Fugro can provide assistance and training to those interested in adopting all, or parts of the Superpave technology. Our staff has prepared a training program that includes discussion on HMA design and analysis utilizing the Superpave methods and QC/QA based on traditional methods and recently developed statistically based concepts. The training program can be tailored to fit the needs of any interested company or agency and can be taught at those facilities or other locations as desired.
