Warm-Mix Asphalt Benefits

by

Last Updated on December 8, 2023

First introduced to the United States in 2002 by the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA), warm-mix asphalt (WMA) is the popular choice for paving driveways, parking lots, and roadways during the cold months of winter. Smooth, durable, environmentally friendly…what more could you want?

How about this? Increasing the benefits of warm-mix asphalt is recycled asphalt pavement (RAP), which according to the National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) Director Randy West should be used together whenever possible. “They go together, like peanut butter and jelly or macaroni and cheese,” he says.

Warm-Mix Asphalt Benefits

WMA allows producers of asphalt paving materials to lower the temperatures – by as much as 100 degrees Fahrenheit – at which the materials are produced and placed on the road. Its benefits are reduction in energy consumption and reduced emissions from burning fuels, fumes, and odors generated at both the production plant and paving site. It also works to improve the working conditions for asphalt pavers.

WMA, like all other asphalt mixes (e.g., cold-mix asphalt and hot-mix asphalt) additionally provides for a smooth, resilient driving surface. Drivers will thank you!

  • Lower fuel consumption.
  • Reduces the production of harmful emissions.
  • Improves the working conditions for asphalt pavers.
  • Drastically decreases the production of greenhouse gases.

Great company to work with. We contacted Top Job to repair a county road that we dug across for an irrigation line. They were very professional yet friendly. Our job was completed quickly. We recommend this company.

I’m not sure how the service actually is, but some old guy in a Top Job Toyota was riding my butt today and flipped me off, or it was maybe an aggressive wave at the red light near the Logan library. Hope his day gets better. 12/8 at 230

Did a great job on the 3" overlay for my very old and deteriorated half circle driveway. Looks brand new. All the transitions to concrete are near perfectly matched when I wasn't sure they could do it. It's almost weird now not feeling the bump driving out of the garage or over our bridge.

Top Job paved our asphalt driveways and we couldn't be happier. The service, quality and price were the best I could find and I looked everywhere! Great job guys! I'll be calling back when I start my next project.

I'm so impressed!!😀 Top Job has done such excellent work on my neighbor's driveway ... I'm so jealous. It's absolutely beautiful, and I can't believe how smooth it turned out. It's just perfect. What a great company!

What Our Customers Are Saying

Very impressed with the quality of their work and the organization of the company. The project estimator was spot on as to when the bid would be received and the work was professional  from start to finish. I appreciated the opportunity for a walkthrough inspection after the crack filling was completed as I had some very large cracks in the asphalt. I give this company a ten out of ten (which I really do) and highly recommend them.
