INNOVATION
By Katie Johnson
The MA4 staying ahead of the pavement train.
T
he common idiom, “the
proof is in the pudding,”
represents the idea that
one’s effort and planning
– or lack thereof – are always
evident in the finished
product. And, given
how precise one needs to
be in order to make a good batch of
pudding, it’s a great metaphor for the
asphalt industry. Even with the perfect
ingredients, a few misjudged details can
make the whole dessert a flop; too runny,
too lumpy. But, when everything is
accounted for and timed perfectly, the
pudding is something that is spectacular.
Sound familiar?
Opened in 1970, Minnesota-based
Cimline, Inc. has been cooking up innovations
for the past 50 years. Within
that time the company has established
a simple, yet effective recipe: to implement
processes that create solutions to
their customers’ problems – even the
ones they don’t know about. The result
has been products that extend the life
of pavement in safer, more productive,
and less intrusive ways. While the company
has built a catalogue of products
that fit that description, there may not
be a better example of these ideals than
Cimline’s latest offering, the MA4.
Finding a fix
For the past 15 years, the mainline asphalt
paving market has been tirelessly
testing and researching ways to prevent
longitudinal paving joint failure.
