Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc. (GOH)
Delivers Sma to Interstate 80
By Tom Abbey, Materials Quality Leader, Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc.
Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA) is
being used more and more by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation
(PennDOT). Mostly used in the southern Engineering Districts on heavily
trafficked highways, recently this mix
has made its way northward. PennDOT
District 1-0 let three projects this past
winter that incorporated SMA for the
wearing course. On January 11, 2007
Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc. (GOH) was the
successful bidder on a project located
in Venango County…on Interstate 80.
Not only is this the first SMA mix to be
utilized on Interstate 80, it was also
GOH’s first opportunity to produce and
place SMA.
Right from the start, GOH knew
they wanted to do it right, and needed to
understand this “new mix”. In February, a training seminar was held to get to
know SMA. GOH paving leaders; roller operators; field technicians; asphalt
plant personnel; plant QC technicians;
supervisors, as well as representatives
from PennDOT District 1-0 Materials
and Construction staffs listened to Larry
Michael from Maryland (the Godfather
of “SMA in the USA”) speak about SMA.
After Larry assured everyone there was
nothing to be afraid of…as long as you
do your homework, and do things right,
Jim Head from BOMAG gave a talk
about how to achieve proper density with
this material.
Venango Co. I-80 Overview.
Mike Skarbek and his QC staff at the
DuBois GOH lab located in District 2-0
were tasked with developing the needed
Job Mix Formula (JMF). To be sure the
JMF was developed correctly, numerous
trial blends were made before selecting
three to start the design effort. Once started, it was determined that a normal # 8
graded stone would not fit the required
gradation for the PG76-22 9.5mm SRL-E
100 gyration mix. GOH made some adjustments to the crushing facility at their
South Williamsport sandstone operations in District 3-0, to accommodate the
gradation.
Once the JMF was completed,
adaptations were needed at the production plant. Hawbaker’s Clarion Plant 14
located in District 10-0, was the closest
facility to the project. Improvements to
the mineral filler system were made to
allow for the higher input needed. SMA
specifications call for 8 to 13 percent mi-
Fiber Machine.
nus # 200, which is quite a bit higher than
any other mix. Also, the drum needed
modified to allow for the introduction of
fibers. Fibers, and the machine to blow
them into the mix, were obtained from
Carlos Ushuda at Hi-Tech Asphalt Solutions.
Hawbaker field, production and
QC personnel took a tour of Reliable

Incorporated’s Millersville, Maryland plant

...Continued from page 1
while they were producing SMA to get a “look-see” of how
is was produced and placed. Milt Simms, former Maryland
DOT HMA Team Leader, hosted the tour and shared his
experiences and opinions for a successful project. GOH then
decided to do some trials through the plant before attempting the Contract-required 100 ton test strip. To assure the
asphalt pump and the fiber machine and the mineral filler
system all worked properly, and the aggregate blend was
correct, three production runs were done. Lab tests showed
good results, two 100 ton runs were placed near the asphalt
plant on a township road. Again, all QC tests – field and plant
– showed good results. The official test strip was placed on
July 13, 2007. Cores were cut and density and asphalt content and gradation were determined at GOH’s lab. All criteria
were met, and mainline paving of the SMA commenced on
July 16, 2007. But the project was more than just “SMA”.
Fresh Mat.
The project was a three phase project. Phase 1 was repairs
of the existing roadway concrete surface and drainage systems.
Phase 2 was the completion of construction on only four miles
of the project, eastbound and westbound. And phase three was
the completion of construction on the remaining four miles of
the project, eastbound and westbound. The succession phases
could not be started until the preceding phase was complete
100%. The project was completed under traffic, limiting lane
closures from Monday at 6:00 am to Friday at 12:00 pm. The
time frame for completion of the project was from April 2,
2007 to October 19, 2007, with an asphalt wearing course
paving deadline of September 30, 2007.
The original contract consisted of approximately 80,000
tons of asphalt paving mixtures which consisted of approximately 41,700 tons of 19 mm binder and approximately 24,800
tons of SMA, with the placement of the SMA limited to only
daylight hours as per the Contract requirements. These asphalt
quantities combined with the contact restrictions for traffic
and phasing made for a very aggressive construction schedule
with no float time. In order to meet the schedule, GOH placed
the 19 mm binder 24 hours a day during the permitted time
constraints for lane closures. But, the SMA was only placed
during daylight hours, as per the Contract requirements.
Paving Train.
All acceptance
testing for the 19mm
(boxes and cores) and
SMA (cores only, NO
BOXES) were done
through local acceptance at the Clarion
lab. Bill Carr, Inspector from District 1-0
performed all the density and ignition tests witnessed by Ken
Kreibel, GOH’s certified technician.

Density Core 9.5 mm SMA.
All required acceptance testing – density; asphalt content
and gradation and IRI met or exceeded specifications. Average density for the SMA was 95.2 percent with a standard
deviation (S.D.) of 1.25. For using the same cores to determine asphalt and gradations, there was not as much change
as feared, compared to production test results. The asphalt
content was one tenth higher by core versus plant; the minus
# 200 was eight tenths of a percent higher and the # 8 was 3.4
percent higher by core versus plant results.
Overall, GOH is very satisfied with this project especially
for the first time utilizing SMA. Significant accomplishments
were:
• Planning – learning – following through with attention
to the smallest details can result in success.
• Utilized aggregate from District 3-0: developed a JMF
in District 2-0: produced material in District 10-0;
placed the material in District 1-0!
• Right from the start, established a relationship with
District 1-0 Materials, Construction and field people so
all were involved with learning and completion of the
project.
Too many excellent people were involved in the success
of the job to name them all. From ownership to transportation;
construction to PENNDOT; aggregate and asphalt production
teams to quality control, all did a tremendous job. My personal thanks and congratulations are extended to everyone.
SMA? Bring it on!
In closing, this project was identified by the National
Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) as a winner of a 2007
Quality Construction Award. Recognition will be made during NAPA’s 53rd Annual Meeting, January 29, 2008. u

Grove City Asphalt Plant
By Dan I. Bauman, Operations Manager - Asphalt, Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc.
In September 2007, Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc. (GOH)
completed construction and setup of 400 ton/hour asphalt
plant just off Interstate 80 at Exit 29. This plant will allow GOH to competitively delivery material and services on
the I-80 corridor from the Ohio border
to Wilkes-Barre. The 26 acre site will
host the maintenance shop, construction operations for the GOH far western region and the asphalt plant. All
existing regional operations from Butler, to Campbell’s Asphalt, and Grove
City Paving will be consolidated to this
site.
The plant consists of 900 tons
of finished product storage with the
capability of readily expanding to
1,800 tons. The plant is of a dual drum
type with a 9'6'' x 44' dryer and an 8'
x 20' mixer. Both were remanufactured by Al-mix to GOH requirements. The baghouse was expanded to allow
72,000 CFM of air with an air-to-cloth ratio of 5.4:1. The
cold feed system contains seven 10' x 14' bins and a 6' x 16'
Simplicity double deck screen. The recycled system has two
10'x14' bins and a 5'x12' Simplicity double deck screen. It is
also a closed loop system with a Telsmith 2410 rotary crusher
to separate the rap. The plant operation
is controlled by a WEM automation
system. The burner is a 100 MMBTU
multi-fuel burner from Astec. It has
the capability of burning gas, oil (#2,
#5, etc), propane, and coal. We look
forward to completing stack testing
by June of 2008
Upon completion and obtaining
PennDOT approval of the site we
shipped over 20,000 tons in order to
complete the 2007 season.
With these assets in place to begin the 2008 season GOH is expecting to grow all aspects of our operation in this region. We have begun to
expand with equipment and assets in
the region and look forward to growth
in personnel and community involvement. GOH, as it has done in other
areas, will strive to become a valued member of each community we service. We are looking forward to a bright future
in the region. u

HMA PLANT: Energy Saving Tips
By Bill Garrett, Partner, Meeker Equipment Co., Inc.
PAPA is a great organization and is always developing
ideas and information to help us with our HMA Businesses.
The intent of this series of articles is to help us better control
our energy cost, with some “Back to Basics” concepts and
information. STOCKPILES:
The stockpiles are the first place we should look to reduce
energy costs. We all have pavers and earth moving equipment
for preparing our stockpile areas.
1. Paving under all the stockpiles reduces loss of materials, makes it easier for the loader (less maintenance & fuel
$$) and equipment (reducing electric and power $$), prevents
oversized material from contaminating the mix (reduced segregation, & penalties $$), keeps moisture from migrating into
the stockpile and allows sloped grade for proper draining, thus
reducing the overall stockpiles moisture content (reduces drying cost $$). Moisture: Drain it out.
2. Configuring the stockpile so the loader is always
working on the south side of the stockpile. The sun comes up
in the east, goes through the southern sky and sets in the west
at all our plants. The sun is a major source of energy and when
we allow it to radiate its energy on the stockpile all day, that
• Paving the Way Oct./Nov./Dec. 2007
area of the pile is then dryer. By slopping the paved grade to
the north and the loader removing material from the south,
dryer material enters the HMA facility (reducing drying cost
$$). For every 1% of moisture removed from the aggregate,
a 12% fuel reduction occurs or production can increase by
12%.
3. Proper stockpile size with dividers, reduces segregation and improper sized material from causing poor quality on
the paving surface (less penalties $$). Dividers also make the
work of the loader operator speedier and less likely to contaminate.
4. Testing of the material for moisture configuration
in the pile and properly sized aggregate; will allow the loader
to select the area of the pile with the least moisture (reducing
drying cost $$), and alert the lab and plant manager of aggregate size changes (reducing penalties $$).
5. Covering the stockpile keeps moisture out of the pile
(Reducing drying cost and increasing production $$). When
these items occur, paving cost are also reduced as production
increases and the same crew gets more done in less time with
less cost. Moisture: Keep it out.
6. The loader operator carefully working the stockpile
to feed the plant with the driest material is the simplest cost
saving measure of all (reduced moisture to the dryer $$). Pick
high on the pile and from the south side. No cleaning up by
taking the wet material from the bottom of the pile and piling
it on the top (adds moisture and cost, while reducing production).
We hope you have found these simple cost saving ideas
easy to implement, in your efforts to reduce energy and operating cost at our HMA facilities. u

Porous Pavement Guide Being
Prepared
The Environmental Committee has identified a need to
help civil engineers to be informed about design practices for
porous pavement, which is seeing increased acceptance since
10
• Paving the Way Oct./Nov./Dec. 2007
the finalization of DEP’s final
Stormwater Manual in December 2007.
The Association, at its Annual Conference,
will be hearing Mr. Lawrence Cahill speak on the subject of
porous pavement.
Some Association Members have expressed concern that
designs being issued by engineers will not proved adequate
subbase drainage to prevent freeze/thaw, which is not a problem
where pavement subbases are adequately designed. Adequate
drainage of subbase layers is critical to long term performance
of any and all pavement materials, as well as landfill caps.
Early in 2008, the Association will be working on a guide
to improve the engineering understand of the need for proper
pavement system design, taking into account all appropriate
engineering factors, to ensure pavement longevity. Members
of the Environmental Committee will be working with PAPA’s
Technical Committee Members, taking into account member
producer and pavement contractor experience to assure that all
design factors are taken into account when porous pavement is
specified and that stormwater infiltration opportunity as well as
pavement longevity design considerations is met. DEP will be
consulted prior to finalization of the Guide, as well.
User Guide Being Prepared For
Those Operating Under General
Beneficial Use Permit Wmgr028
At Paving the Way press time, a User Guide was being prepared for those beneficially using baghouse fines and scrubber
pond residues from hotmix asphalt plant production in Pennsylvania. DEP added a number of testing options when renewing Beneficial Use Permits to increase flexibility. Most of the
options for testing are not well understood, or are not readily
usable my members. In addition, many laboratories in Pennsylvania are not capable of completing the needed methodologies
for Total Pertroleum Hydrocarbon testing. The Environmental
Committee believed that preparing a User Guide for producer
plants operating under the permit is in order.
The User Guide is expected to be issued by the end of the
year. u
