Local Company Donates "Green" Asphalt |
|
 News
From Special Equestrians
APAC Mid-South - along with one of
its partners, Alabama Bridge
Builders - donated the asphalt,
labor and equipment for the project,
providing 300 tons of green asphalt
leading up to Special Equestrians, a
NARHA Premier Accredited Center,
located on the campus of Indian
Springs School just south of
Birmingham, Alabama.
APAC Mid-South CFO, David South, has
a special connection with Special
Equestrians; his 12-year-old
daughter has ridden in the program
since 2005. Active in Special
Equestrian events, South, along with
Tim Mullendore, also of APAC, and
Casey Mims of Alabama Bridge
Builders - has been instrumental in
bringing this project to fruition.
Traditional asphalt is made by
cementing rock and sand particles
with a gooey byproduct of crude oil
production that must be heated to
extremely high temperatures to be
applied to roads and other surfaces,
a process that creates greenhouse
gas emissions. Green asphalt
incorporates a large percentage of
recycled asphalt that is broken into
small bits and mixed with water and
soap-like chemicals called
surfactants. This kind of asphalt
can be laid at much lower
temperatures, which - combined with
the recycled nature of the product -
lessens the impact on the
environment. This technology is new
to the Birmingham area, having only
been used in APAC Mid-South projects
over the past few months, according
to South.
A paved road will make a world of
difference at Special Equestrians,
where dust from the dirt road is a
significant problem most of the
year.
