TransTech Systems takes another major step forward in the management of asphalt paving field density testing. In addition to a new non-nuclear asphalt density gauge, the PQI 380+, they have developed a cloud-based data management platform called TransTech Connect.

By combining the Bluetooth-enabled PQI 380+ and TransTech Connect app, real-time density and compaction information can be seamlessly integrated, increasing efficiency by reducing costs and time by eliminating manual data entry.

Together, the PQI 380+ and the TransTech Connect app form a complete platform for every step of the asphalt density management workflow. The system generates comprehensive reports with GPS map visualization and detailed QC analysis for multiple projects, all on a single, easy-to-use platform.

Measure and manage your asphalt density data with precision and ease from multiple projects. Each PQI 380+ density gauge linked to the TransTech Connect app will upload test results as quickly as they are taken allowing greater visibility and control of your paving operations.

Designed specifically for paving teams, it streamlines measurement collection, analysis, and reporting while ensuring compliance and quality control. 

No more waiting for critical density test results at the end of the day by text or e-mail. No more time-consuming manual data entry into Excel spreadsheets for analysis and reporting.

Visit www.transtechconnect.com to start your free trial. Saved data from the standard PQI 380 can also be uploaded onto the TransTech Connect app.

As agencies across the Midwest seek longer-lasting, more sustainable asphalt solutions, Cargill’s Anova rejuvenators are emerging as a valuable tool in Balanced Mix Design (BMD). These bio-based additives enhance the durability of asphalt mixes, particularly in cold climates where low-temperature cracking is a persistent challenge.

The City of Chicago has adopted Anova in its BMD approach to improve pavement resilience under harsh freeze-thaw cycles. Field performance has shown reduced cracking and improved flexibility, allowing for extended pavement life and reduced maintenance costs. Chicago’s success underscores the value of integrating rejuvenators into BMD to meet both performance and sustainability goals.

In Janesville, Wisconsin, Anova was used in a municipal paving project that included high levels of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). The mix met stringent performance criteria, including excellent resistance to low-temperature cracking, while supporting environmental goals through increased RAP usage. This demonstrates how Anova can help municipalities balance sustainability with durable pavement performance.

By enabling higher RAP content without compromising quality, Anova supports Wisconsin’s broader efforts to implement BMD across the state. Its proven benefits in both urban and regional applications make it a strong candidate for agencies seeking cost-effective, resilient asphalt solutions.

Centerline rumble strips (CLRS) are among the most cost-effective highway safety countermeasures available to prevent crashes and are being used on an increasing percentage of Wisconsin’s asphalt pavements. A recently completed study from the National Road Research Alliance (NRRA) evaluated the effects of milling CLRS on pavement durability and tested how material treatments impact cracking resistance, permeability, and noise functionality. Findings highlight that installation of CLRS may produce conditions that facilitate more rapid deterioration of the longitudinal joint relative to control sections without rumble strips.

Use of a Void Reducing Asphalt Membrane (VRAM), such as J-Band®, is shown in the research to effectively mitigate these conditions. In fact, VRAM reduced crack propagation in CLRS sections by up to 34% relative to control sections without VRAM! Importantly, because VRAM is used under the CLRS it does not negatively impact rumble strip functionality as a safety tool alerting drivers of lane departure. 

Field performance after nearly a decade of service validates the durability benefits of J-Band when used under CLRS. In the project example shown here, the control sections exhibit greater crack width at the joint location and extensive ancillary cracking near the joint, whereas the J-Band section exhibits nearly zero ancillary cracking and comparatively narrower crack width.

Welcome to a Better Way to Pave and Mill

The Topcon SmoothRide™ workflow starts your project with precision in mind and better material management on the horizon. The need for traffic lane closures is gone. Quick 3D scanning has replaced hours of point-to-point surveying and with intuitive software, smoother and more durable results are delivered.

Time saved

Detail existing surface conditions through scanning and instantly capture millions of points while at traffic speeds. Smoothness achieved: Variable milling and paving can easily be obtained through designs based on actual conditions. Set a compaction percentage factor when paving to ensure a smooth finish after final compaction. Material managed: Eliminate guesswork and plan smarter. An understanding of existing surface details pre-construction allows for accurate material calculation.

Application focused

SmoothRide is the perfect tool for mainline paving or milling projects requiring long sections of road that need resurfacing. This complete workflow allows you to stay productive and ahead of schedule – substantially increasing your bonus.

SmoothRide offers:

• A simple process, smart design and smooth results.
• A fully automated system with GNSS or LPS and optional 2D sensors.
• Accurate thickness boundaries while maintaining projected yield.
• No need for strings, analog skis or lasers.
• Easy surface data management and design.
• Safer data collection at speed without lane closures.
