Special attention during such inspections is paid to the quality of materials - it is checked in a certified laboratory equipped with modern equipment. The composition of asphalt concrete mixtures for each object is previously agreed. Then samples of materials of the asphalt concrete plant are taken, as well as samples from the road being repaired, which are tested for composition, strength, water resistance and other indicators.
