The first thing that comes to mind when you hear asphalt is roads. But the versatility of asphalt makes it the ideal material for other applications and locations: from driveways to runways, from the barn floor to the ocean floor.

HMA is also used worldwide as a practical solution to water storage, flood control, erosion, and conservation problems. Asphalt has been approved by the Environmental Protection Agency and used successfully as a primary liner for both sanitary and hazardous waste landfills.

You''ll find asphalt all around you in a variety of uses, including:

Transportation - highways, railbeds for transit systems, airport runways
Recreational - running tracks, greenway trails, playgrounds, bicycle and golf cart paths, racetracks, basketball and tennis courts
Aquatic - fish hatcheries, reservoir liners, industrial retention ponds, sea walls, dikes and groins to control beach erosion
Residential - driveways, subdivision roads
Agricultural - cattle feed lots, poultry house floors, barn floors, greenhouse floors
Industrial - work sites, log yards, ports, freight yards, landfill caps
