The closer the better.

 

The cliché is that "close only counts in horseshoes." Maybe it’s because saying "close only counts in highway asphalt" doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue. Nonetheless, it’s equally as true. And just like horseshoes, when it comes to highway asphalt the closer the better – in two important ways.

First of all, at Trumbull we understand the need for proximity to minimize freight. We’ve created a strategic network of plant locations to provide unparalleled service and product availability.

But we also realize that you need a supplier who is more than close. You need a supplier who is precisely and consistently meeting your product specifications. Our team of experienced researchers and engineers are skilled in creating the asphalt to meet the exact ASTM and AASHTO specifications your codes demand.

Trumbull was a key participant in the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) and has helped develop the standards released in 1993 to which all highway asphalt manufacturers must adhere. It’s knowledge and experience we’ve used to ensure that all of our products meet or exceed all applicable federal, state, and local specifications.



 
To ensure our asphalt is meeting your specs batch after batch, each of our plants features its own on-site quality assurance lab with several plants specifically equipped to verify products are meeting SHRP standards. But rigorously testing each batch of asphalt before it leaves the plant is only the first step of our quality assurance process.

We also routinely double-check samples for product quality and adherence to SHRP specifications at our advanced Technical Laboratory in Summit, Illinois. Our Summit lab is truly among the finest in the industry and one of a select few accredited by the AASHTO. Best of all, each of our on-site plant labs is calibrated to the same precise AASHTO standards as our Summit lab.

So while the value of closeness may be common to a game of horseshoes and specifying highway asphalt, you don’t need to depend on luck to land a winner in providing quality, reliable highway asphalt products. Depend on Trumbull.
