Welcome To Our Website!
Welcome to the Kansas Asphalt Paving Association (KAPA) website. The KAPA represents 12 Hot-Mix Asphalt (HMA) Producers and 56 Suppliers, Associate Members, and Consulting Engineers who are dedicated to providing the traveling public of Kansas with the highest quality HMA placed with a commitment to excellence in all of our projects. Asphalt pavements are the smoothest, safest, quietest and most environmentally-friendly roadways and parking lots. The KAPA website will provide you with information on the benefits of HMA, educational materials and opportunities, the KAPA membership, and how to contact us for more information and opportunities to join this progressive association.

KAPA participates with the Hamm Foundation for a
Work Force Development meeting
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Workforce development is a high priority initiative as the transportation industry embarks on a big workload via the state
IKE plan and the federal BIL plan. Getting construction interns interested in transportation is part of that initiative. What better
way to get construction interns interested in transportation than
to display first hand the KDOT central lab and the dedicated and talented work of the KDOT staff that work there!
A shout out to the KDOT staff for hosting a tour of the central
lab. And special thanks to Rick Barezinsky, Blair Heptig and
Shane Houser for leading the tours of the lab. We had great participation from several companies including producers,
suppliers, and equipment dealers.
The lab tour was just one stop for the interns, after the
KDOT tour they spent time at KCA and the capitol.
Awesome job by the KCA staff in organizing the day.

Asphalt Pavement: A Critically Important Aspect of Infrastructure Resiliency
Asphalt pavements inherently possess resilient features, though the typical pavement
engineer/designer does not necessarily think of these characteristics through the lens of
resilience. The rapid constructability of asphalt pavements enables a producer to become a
“first responder” after a disaster; if a pavement is damaged due to an extreme event, it can be
quickly restored through fast construction. Tools and methods such as warm mix asphalt,
adaptable materials (e.g., polymer modified binders to resist high temperature or traffic load
deformation), porous asphalt systems for storm water management, and the ability to recycle
materials that have been compromised during an event as a means of compensating for
disrupted materials supply chains enhance the resilience of the system.

NAPA Releases
Research Booklet
NAPA has compiled a summary of ongoing and recently completed asphalt research projects and industry initiatives. It covers work funded by NAPA, the Asphalt Pavement Alliance, and the Pavement Economics Committee.
New Communication Tool Available
NAPA launched a new website, DriveAsphalt.org. The site aims to provide information to road owners about the superior performance of asphalt pavements. The website can be a helpful tool for meetings with DOT, public works, and tollway officials. In the upcoming months, the site will be enhanced and expanded into a full resource for pavement designers seeking information about asphalt pavements.

Pavement Design
Software Available
PaveXpress is a free web based pavement design tool to help you create simplified pavement designs while taking into account key engineering inputs. PaveWpress includes access to resources such as design guides from state DOTs and industry associations so you can build formal designs from its simple recommendations. PaveXpress is based on the AASHTO 93/98 pavement design equation and has been tested and endorsed by KDOT. The following is the link to this free software.
