Superpave

Superpave, short for Superior Performing Asphalt Pavements, is a technical system used to design and select the best asphalt mix for roadways. It considers factors like climate, traffic load, and material properties to create durable, cost-effective pavement that resists deformation and aging. Developed through research by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Superpave improves asphalt performance by optimizing how materials are combined and tested, ensuring longer-lasting roads with fewer repairs and better safety for users.
