On July 19, Blacklidge Emulsions Inc. had the opportunity to supply PG 76-22GTR (Ground Tire Rubber Modified asphalt cement) to Huey Stockstill Construction Company’s project on U.S. 49 in Gulfport, MS. The PG 76-22GTR was used in the place of PG 76-22 SBS polymer modified asphalt cement. With the successful completion of this demo project, MDOT will monitor the section and then will hopefully move forward to allow PG 76-22 GTR as a substitute to the more costly PG 76-22 SBS. Huey Stockstill Jr commented “PG 76-22 GTR demo project went very well and we are excited about getting it MDOT approved and taking advantage of the many benefits of PG 76-22GTR in the future.”

This week our BETA lab has been under close scrutiny by the AASHTO Material’s Reference Lab (AMRL) through their onsite inspector as part of the requirement for AMRL accreditation. This process is a long and difficult one for any lab. There are over 2000 labs that undergo this process periodically and about 1800 of them do get accredited every 2 years. These 1800 accredited labs are spread all over the United States and Canada, including all the state DOT labs. Our onsite inspector ranked BETA and its people to be on the top 3 or 4 labs out of all 1800! As for us doing this for the first time, among other first time labs we were ranked 1st by a long shot! This kind of ranking is extremely rare and it is solid proof of the hard work put in by all at BETA. Not many companies have a lab equal or better than ours (only 2 or3 do) and that is out of all asphalt, concrete, soil, and metal testing labs. Congratulations to BETA for their hard work and dedication to quality and excellence!!!

Since its opening day in September 2008, BETA Lab strived to be the best of the best. Little over one year later the lab achieved that goal by receiving all 5’s (on a scale of 1 to 5) in the AASHTO’s Material References Laboratory (AMRL) sample testing. Very few labs get all 5’s on this thorough testing marathon. Not only did BETA receive all 5’s in the AMRL testing in early 2010, but it also received  all 5’s from the Georgia DOT’s Quality Assurance Program since its opening day in September 2008.
