Who we are

A science-first pavement firm.

We exist to bridge two worlds that rarely meet: the rigour of the research laboratory and the realities of the construction site. Every mix design, test report and quality system we deliver is grounded in peer-reviewed science and proven on real roads, runways and ports.

Operating as Asphalt Technologies LLC / Materials Testing Laboratories & Services, our team carries more than 300 years of combined experience across testing, mix design, forensic engineering, highway & airport design, recycling engineering and construction management — on six continents.

    Statistics-based acceptance you can defend.

  • Innovation-led

    Advanced & sustainable pavement technologies.

  • Globally experienced

    USA, Canada, Latin America, EU, SE Asia, India.

  • Standards-aligned

    AASHTO, ASTM, SCDOT & FHWA methods.

“Great pavements are not poured — they are engineered, tested and proven before the first truck ever rolls.”

With more than 40 years dedicated to the science of asphalt, Dr. Amirkhanian is one of the field's most recognised researchers and practitioners. A former professor at Clemson University, he has authored 300+ peer-reviewed publications and led funded research programs that shaped how modern agencies specify and accept asphalt mixtures.

His expertise spans asphalt and pavement materials, mix and structural design, recycled materials, concrete and highway infrastructure — including advanced binder modification such as rubberized asphalt. A recurring speaker at international conferences, he has taught and built R&D and certification programs across the USA, India, China and Norway.

Mission & values

What we stand for.

Integrity in the data

Objective, traceable results — never tuned to a desired outcome.

Science into practice

Research that ends up specified, paved and performing.

Sustainability by design

Recycled materials, reclaimed asphalt and lower-carbon strategies — evaluated on performance, not ideology.
