Asphalt Paving Guidance in the Field

Posted: 6/29/2026

NAPA's Airport Asphalt Pavement Technology Program (AAPTP) has transformed their essential Asphalt Paving Handbook into a fully searchable website and mobile app. Built to function completely offline, these new platforms give crews on-demand access to field-tested solutions, interactive checklists, and training videos—ensuring quality and accuracy even in areas with no cell service.

Available Tools:

  • An AI-powered Handbook Assistant to quickly find information in the field
  • Interactive checklists for plant and roller operations support quality control
  • Companion videos demonstrate techniques
  • Field resources empower you on the job site

The Asphalt Paving Handbook has long been a trusted resource for the paving industry,” said Dave Johnson, Senior Regional Engineer at the Asphalt Institute. “By making it available through a searchable website and mobile app, we're putting practical guidance, best practices, and troubleshooting tools directly into the hands of the people building pavements every day.
