Rheology isn’t theory; it’s a tool for understanding how materials actually behave.
Too often, we force data to fit a model. But what if we flipped that? What if the data told us the story instead? Analyze data to reveal real material behavior, not just assumptions. Better data interpretation leads to better decisions.

We do a lot of pavement research. How much actually makes it to the field?
Not all research is implementable, and too much valuable insight gets lost between the lab and the road.
Closing that gap comes down to better communication and clearer translation of what's actually actionable. That's where real progress happens.

CalCIMA’s Elevate Conference is designed for the next generation of professionals in the materials and construction industry. Miguel attended the Technical Asphalt Committee session to stay up to date on evolving practices and changes impacting his home state of California.

The highlight for him was the keynote Peter Lemon, President of GraniteRock, who emphasized the importance of curiosity—and the value of saying yes to it.

We’re celebrating one year of Mixing Materials!

We’ve had the chance to sit down with friends leading our industry, covering topics such as personal career paths to evolving specs and standards. It’s been an honor to highlight the people behind the work and the ideas shaping where we’re headed.

If you haven’t checked it out yet, it’s well worth a look! https://hubs.ly/Q04hp5Wb0

30 years ago, someone said the asphalt industry was “solved.”
It wasn’t, and it still isn’t. Materials, traffic loads, and performance expectations keep evolving. What worked 20 years ago doesn’t always hold up today.

The real challenge isn’t just keeping up—it’s adapting faster. Watch the full interview with Geoffrey Rowe here: https://bit.ly/4d99OlX

When Raven Materials faced critical quality challenges in 2025, they didn’t just need a tool; they needed a system they could rely on immediately.

LASTRADA delivered.

With our Jump Start approach, their team is up and running before on-site training with Miguel began. Combined with the Fast Track program, employees are able to adopt the system and start generating value immediately.

If your operation can’t afford delays, guesswork, or inconsistent quality, you don’t need another tool.

You need something indispensable.

Imagine connecting pavement design, lifecycle cost analysis, and lifecycle assessment using one consistent dataset to drive better decisions- one dashboard for sustainable infrastructure, that is the dream, right?

The path forward starts with small steps: integrating material databases with design and pavement management systems to enable truly data-driven decision making.
That’s how we move toward smarter, more sustainable infrastructure. Learn more and watch the full interview with Chait Bhat with Asphalt Institute here: https://hubs.la/Q04d6dRH0

As senior engineers retire, it’s not just experience that leaves—it’s the reasoning behind decisions, the tradeoffs, and the “why” behind performance outcomes.

The question is: how do we retain that context?

The answer isn’t more documentation—it’s better systems.

By capturing data alongside decisions and real-world results, organizations can create a continuous feedback loop—turning past projects into actionable insight for future ones.

That’s where LASTRADA comes in.

We help teams turn everyday data into a structured, evolving knowledge base—so insights compound instead of disappear.

The asphalt story isn’t about volume, it’s about stress. More traffic. Heavier loads. Different vehicle dynamics. At the same time, we’re asking pavements to last longer with fewer interventions. That tension is quietly reshaping how we think about mix design, maintenance strategy, and performance expectations.

Chait Bhat (Asphalt Institute) explores what’s changing and what it means going forward:
