Asphalt

IPC Global’s market leading products, born out of their in-depth industry and material knowledge, easily analyse asphalts for characterisation of HMA mixes; highway pavement design; and forensic analysis of premature pavement failure.

IPC Global has been designing and manufacturing innovative and market leading equipment for analysing the properties of asphalt since the late 1980s. Con Sinadinos, IPC Global’s current CEO, the previous managing director and key technical staff are ex-ARRB (Australian Road Research Board) employees and bring to IPC Global a wealth of knowledge and experience in the field of asphalt properties and performance analysis.

Through its close relationship with global leaders in the field of asphalt research, such as ARRB, ASU, TU Delft and FHWA, IPC Global has been instrumental in developing many of the world’s highly regarded materials tests for asphalt. From this, IPC Global has developed machines that enable researchers and engineers to perform advanced tests simply and to provide an in-depth understanding the critical behaviours and performance of asphalt e.g. rutting, cracking, and modulus.
