North Carolina has the second largest state-maintained highway system in the United States, with 78,000 miles of roads. These roads are resurfaced every 12 to 15 years, which means 4,400 miles of roads are repaved annually requiring approximately 3 million tons of asphalt. In addition, asphalt plants are located throughout the state near road construction sites to ensure the mixture maintains the required temperature of at least 300 degrees.

When a road in South Carolina needs resurfacing, SCAPA contractor members want to give you the best and safest road money can buy. To be able to meet that obligation, asphalt plants are located throughout the state, near road construction sites to ensure the mixture maintains the required temperature of at least 300 degrees when leaving the facility. Remember, the higher the heat, the better the compaction; the better compaction, the better the quality of the pavement .
