The Asphalt Pavement Association of West Virginia (APA), a division
of the Contractors Association of
West Virginia, is a non-profit trade association representing
the producers of hot mix asphalt and aggregates, laydown contractors,
asphalt cement suppliers, equipment and material suppliers and other
firms involved directly and indirectly in the hot mix industry.
The Association represents the majority of such firms operating
in West Virginia with their combined production accounting for over
90 percent of all hot mix asphalt production in the state. The APA,
formerly the Flexible Pavements Council of WV (FPC), was formed
by a progressive group of hot mix plant owners in 1979.
Members of the Association actively support and promote funding
for West Virginia's transportation system. We believe that one of
the major factors contributing to the health and stability of West
Virginia is the maintenance of its highways, toll roads, streets,
airports, parking areas, coal haul roads and railroads. Further,
adequate recreational areas, safe and convenient industrial sites
and sound environmental practices are vital to the social and economic
well being of West Virginia and are also areas served by the hot
mix industry.
While it provides a vehicle for the exchange of information among
its members, the APA also serves the specifiers and consumers of
asphalt pavements and aggregates. The APA is constantly seeking
new techniques, product improvements and design methods which are
made available for the benefit of all pavement users.
Members listed on this website are actively engaged in the production
of quality hot mix asphalt and utilize sound construction techniques.
Virtually every area of the state is readily served by experienced
asphalt and aggregate suppliers that produce West
Virginia Division of Highways specification material. The map
section of this site indicates plant locations for all member hot
mix producer firms, as well as Districts of the West Virginia Division
of Highways.
The APA maintains a close working relationship with the Asphalt
Institute and the National
Asphalt Pavement Association, both of which have many years
of experience in assisting users of asphalt pavements. Thus, the
Association can provide you direct contact with individuals who
can provide practical advice and information on quality hot mix
pavements. APA member firms are qualified and eager to serve you.
We welcome inquiries about design procedures and cost estimates,
regardless of your pavement needs. In addition, the Association
office stands ready to provide information or assistance upon your
request.
