Meet Sarah Stephens, AMI’s Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) Implementation Manager! Sarah works to streamline the company’s health and safety processes and documentation across all locations to help our teams operate more efficiently.
Asphalt Materials, Inc. stands strong as a leader in enforcing safety protocols to protect our team from potential hazards. It is also at the forefront of sustainability improvements that enhance the health of our communities and environment. When AMI’s leadership identified a challenge that posed safety concerns and generated significant waste, the team began developing an action plan.
Building longer-lasting, safer roads starts with quality, reliable asphalt materials. Our portfolio of asphalt products offers an innovative solution at every pavement stage, from pre-preservation to full reconstruction, providing you with the right solution for your project, and your budget, every time.
Asphalt Materials, Inc. holds long-standing history in the communities we reside in. Since our beginnings in 1956 we’ve expanded across the Midwest by bringing in a family of companies that allow us to help our customers find solutions to all their construction and materials needs.
The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announced a significant change in asphalt binder specifications in 2024, transitioning from PG 64-22 to PG 58-28. This change, effective for contracts let on or after September 1, 2024, affects all base grade liquid asphalt binder in Indiana as well as the testing requirements (from AASHTO M320 to AASHTO M332, incorporating AASHTO R92 requirements). In addition, the terminology of which liquid asphalt binders are referred to will be updated to align with these changes.
At Asphalt Materials, Inc. (AMI), we know that an exceptional product is only the first component of a successful pavement project. Our commitment to providing services that go beyond our innovative products ensures that customers like you have our unparalleled support and expertise throughout any project.
At our annual Spring Kick Off meeting, Asphalt Materials, Inc. (AMI) team members from different all plant locations and departments across the Midwest came together to celebrate accomplishments from the previous year and share their plans for the year ahead.
Asphalt Materials, Inc. and J-Band along with Heritage Research Group Lab hosted an event for the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Young Members Group on January 15, 2025. This event included a learning session titled, “Innovative Materials + Strategies for Pavement Preservation” with a guided tour and networking opportunities.
At Asphalt Materials, doing the right thing is engrained in every aspect of our culture. So, when it comes to safety, our team understands it’s not only a priority but the non-negotiable foundation of our success.
As we gear up for the upcoming season, our dedication to ensuring a safe and healthy work environment is stronger than ever. We implement several protocols in our daily operations, but we’re also no strangers to improving systems even further. Take a look at some of our tried-and-true methods, as well as upcoming initiatives at AMI.
Agencies face significant challenges when pursuing a pavement preservation program. Equipment and material costs continue to rise, and local talent recruitment and retention are difficult. Yet, the Sheboygan County Transportation Department – Highway Division provides an excellent example of how to navigate these challenges and boldly steward public transportation infrastructure with remarkable success.
