?? ICC-IMS earned another certification! Our ICC66 received the AASHTO R56 Certification this week at the National Center for Asphalt Technology at Auburn University (NCAT), along with our operators, Seyed and Mike! At ??????-??????, we understand the importance of maintaining certifications and investing in our team to better serve our partners and clients. We are pleased to have our people and equipment certified, reinforcing our commitment to excellence in pavement data collection and analysis. #DidYouKnow NCAT provides third-party certification of accuracy and repeatability for our profile data. Certification is crucial because it ensures that data collected—regardless of the vendor—meets the same high standards. This consistency is particularly important for projects, especially those involving DOT requirements. #NCAT #DOT #ICCIMS #AASHTO

Did you know that discarded tires are paving the way for sustainable infrastructure? Using recycled tires in asphalt is an innovative approach that benefits both the environment and our roadways. ?? ? Environmental Impact: Incorporating rubber from used tires into asphalt helps reduce landfill waste and promotes recycling on a large scale. ? Durability Boost: Studies show that rubberized asphalt can improve road performance, offering enhanced flexibility and resistance to cracking, which reduces the need for frequent maintenance. ? Cost Efficiency: While initially more expensive to produce, rubberized asphalt can save on long-term costs by extending the lifespan of roads and decreasing repair needs. This innovation has been evolving for decades, but advancements in materials science are making it even more viable. At ICC-IMS, we are inspired by solutions that balance sustainability with performance.?

November 20th is ???????????????? ?????? ??????! GIS (Geographic Information Systems) technology combines maps, data, and analysis to help visualize, interpret, and understand patterns in many fields. GIS is a critical tool for Pavement Management that is used in many ways: ? Pavement Condition Assessment and Monitoring ? Asset Inventory ? Prioritization of Maintenance ? Analysis of Pavement Deterioration ? Budgeting? ? Data Integration GIS capabilities across agencies are highly variable. At ??????-??????, we are continuously improving our ability to push our GIS data to the cloud and make it accessible through ArcGIS Online via Story Maps and Dashboards, and therefore more accessible to not only internal stakeholders at the agency, but to their constituents themselves should clients prefer an Esri-based visualization tool to Inform?. We believe in working closely with our clients to understand their specific needs and can create customized, web-based dashboards that illustrate the data we collect during our surveys in a multitude of ways. Our team expertly blends creativity with technical expertise to transform intricate technical information into engaging narratives, using visual storytelling techniques to convey insights effectively.

#??????????????????: ?????? ???? ?????????????? ???????????????????? ???????????? The Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways, also known simply as The United States Interstate System, was first authorized in 1956 to help with the movement of people and goods. Spanning a sprawling 47,000 miles and connecting nearly every major city in the United States, you’ll find interstates marked by large blue and white shields. You can’t miss them. #DidYouKnow the Interstate System is numbered in a very particular way? ? North-South routes are assigned odd number and increase from?West to East.? ? East-West routes are assigned even numbers and increase from North to South. If you think maintaining tens of thousands of miles of highway seems daunting, you’re right. Some funds come from federal fuel taxes, but State and local governments contribute as well. High-quality asphalt or concrete surfaces help to support the traffic and minimize the wear and tear. This essential part of U.S. infrastructure looks a lot different than it did almost 70 years ago. HOV lanes, express lanes, smart traffic management systems, and electrification for electric vehicles have all been added, making them even more efficient. Work continues to be done to add more environmentally friendly tech and improve sustainability.
