15-4 Quick Response: Optimizing Quality Assurance (QA) Processes for Asphalt Pavement Construction in the Northeast

Project Objectives

  • Develop a detailed document listing Quality Assurance processes, including Agency Acceptance and Contractor Quality Control, of member states through interviews of Agency and Contractor staffs and literature review.
  • Develop a regional white paper describing Quality Assurance practices for NETC constituents regarding HMA Acceptance and Quality Control testing.

Technical Committee Members

  • John Grieco (Chairperson), Massachusetts Department of Transportation
  • Vice-Chairperson Mark Brum, Massachusetts Department of Transportation
  • Aaron Schwartz, Vermont Agency of Transportation
  • Kevin Cummings, Maine Department of Transportation
  • Bob Lauzon: Connecticut Department of Transportation
  • Michael Byrne, Rhode Island Department of Transportation
  • Denis Boisvert, New Hampshire Department of Transportation

Implementation Activities

VTrans is rewriting their main HMA specifications (Sections 406 and 407) to accommodate a tiered approach and is incorporating some of the recommendations from this research. ConnDOT already has some of the project recommendations in place and will be implementing others based on a number of factors. One state would implement if there was a regional effort.
