- We would grab samples of the material to make sure that it's reading the exact specs that it's supposed to be to go out in the field.
- We also make sure that each material that goes out into the field is the same exact specs as it's supposed to be for the state code so that when they go on the road that there is no issues.
- We also checked the temperatures of each truck that is loaded up with asphalt to make sure that it's reaching the proper degrees that it's supposed to be at.
- Then we upload the data that we got from the test sample into the computer so that the DOT agents that are on the job site can check to see if there's any changes or things that they need to do out there for the paving crew.
