What happens here
Transport hot asphalt mix (binder course) from an asphalt plant to the site using large dump trucks. The dump trucks carefully feed the hot asphalt into the hopper of an asphalt paver. The paver then spreads the asphalt evenly at a predetermined thickness and width to form the first layer, known as the binder course. Workers monitor the process, adjust screed settings, and manually rake or smooth any irregularities at the edges or around obstacles.
Goal: Apply the initial load-bearing layer of asphalt
