Pathways

Pathways

Bicycle, walking and golf cart paths are specifically intended for bicycles, golf carts, pedestrians and other non-vehicular traffic.  They are generally thinner than vehicular pavement and usually have a very smooth surface.

Recreational Facilities

Heavy Industrial Facilities

Heavy Industrial Facilities

“Heavy industrial facilities” encompasses any facility for use with heavily loaded vehicles such as industrial drives, truck parking, bus terminals, warehouse loading areas, log storage areas and container lots.  HMA is a durable, high-strength pavement material that is entirely appropriate for industrial facilities.

Airfields

Airfields

Airfield pavements are intended primarily for airplane traffic in stationary, taxiing and takeoff/landing modes.  HMA is a durable, high-strength pavement materials that is entirely appropriate for airfields.  In fact, over 90 percent of the paved airfields in the U.S. are paved with HMA.
