Introduction
“Introduction to Asphalt Concrete Plant”
- Asphalt concrete, commonly known as asphalt or blacktop, is a
composite material used in the construction of roads, highways, and
parking lots.

Raw materials Filler


- Asphalt concrete plants are facilities that produce asphalt mixtures
through a process that combines aggregates, binder, and filler in
specific proportions.

Importance of Field Visit


“Why Visit an Asphalt Concrete Plant?”
- Gain practical knowledge about the production process of asphalt
concrete.
- Understand the equipment used in asphalt production.
- Learn about quality control measures and best practices.
- Witness environmental and safety considerations in operation.
