Abatech

This mornings crew at the asphalt plant - looking for somewhere drier and warmer - they found their spot!

Rheobit (http://www.asphaltinstitute.org//rheology-of-bituminous-m/ and http://www.abatech.com/Training.htm) is now in its 16th year with Abatech’s Geoff Rowe - with Dr. Dave Anderson again at the Asphalt Institute which is currently celebrating its centennial year. The photograph next to seal represents an interesting story of its rescue by Bernie McCarthy and the Heritage Group http://hrglab.com/rd.html (led by Tony Kriech) (http://www.asphaltinstitute.org/about-us/saving-history/) great video of the story.

Discussing IMO 2020 at the https://www.wplgroup.com/aci/event/bitumen-industry-summit/ Bitumen Industry Summit in London this week. It’s always great to be in London for these types of events.

We have been in Trinidad and Tobago for some project work. Thought it interesting to post some photos and other items related to Trinidad Lake Asphalt (TLA). Trinidad is famous for this pitch lake at La Brea - used for hundred of years in all sorts of applications including pavements.

We were presented with this video at the recent AI meeting in Chicago - great fun and well done to all of those involved - dedicated to a great man in our industry.
