At Calculator Asphalt, our goal is to provide the most authoritative, trustworthy resources to help engineers, contractors, agencies, and property owners make informed decisions regarding asphalt pavements and materials. We achieve this through a rigorous editorial process centered on experience, expertise, technical accuracy, and transparency.

Our Content Creation Process

With over 25 years working in asphalt and pavement engineering, I take great pride in creating reliable content.

In-Depth Investigation

Every article starts with exhaustive research into the topic, pulling from scholarly sources, industry publications, and my own hands-on expertise. No stone is left unturned in gathering accurate technical information.

Insightful Perspectives

The content goes beyond just facts. I provide valuable engineering perspectives explaining the why and how behind asphalt best practices based on real-world experience.

Thoughtful Explanations

Complex topics are broken down using clear, simplified language and visuals to ensure broad understanding. The goal is to educate, not overwhelm.

Rigorous Accuracy Standards

I hold the content to the highest accuracy standards before publishing.

Peer Review Process

Draft articles are reviewed by other veteran engineers to validate technical correctness and completeness.

Source Verification

Every fact and statistic is meticulously checked against authoritative references. Claims unsupported by evidence don’t make it through.

Updates Over Time

Published content is continually reviewed and updated to reflect current research and evolving best practices. We stay on the cutting edge.

Our Pledge to You

As a licensed civil engineer, I stand behind the integrity of everything we publish. Our aim is always empowering readers to make the smartest asphalt decisions through trustworthy expertise they can rely on. Please contact us if you ever have any questions!
