The project consists
of construction of over 900 feet of concrete taxiway with ancillary turnaround
that covers over 6,518 square yards of ground surface.
The total volume of concrete required for this project exceeded 1,600
cubic yards. Midland Contracting
Inc., subcontracted with AS&A to perform the contractor quality control.
The materials lab of AS&A is
accredited by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation
Officials (AASHTO) Accreditation Program) to perform quality control testing and
implement quality control programs. AS&A’s
lab personnel are accredited to perform hot mix asphalt testing, materials
aggregate testing and asphaltic hot mix testing for State and Federal projects.
AS&A owns and operates a fleet of
mobile asphalt testing labs that conducts QC asphalt testing on the behalf of
contractors for airport and SDDOT projects throughout the State.
Mobile labs are equipped with state of the art electronic instrumentation
that delivers precision results of both cold feed and hot mix samples.
All of the testing equipment is calibrated at intervals and to tolerances
as specified by AASHTO’s Accreditation Program for State and Federal projects.
Managers operating the mobile labs have passed rigorous training programs
sponsored in cooperation with the Asphalt Institute and the SDDOT that prepares
them to perform the tests proficiently and to assure the reliability of the
results. The mobile labs perform
the following cold and asphaltic hot mix tests: gradations, Atterberg Limits (LL
