The Airfield Asphalt Certification Program is intended to increase the quality of construction for work performed under the UFGS asphalt airfield specifications. The certification program will help to ensure that project team members are knowledgeable in the area of airfield asphalt pavements, with respect to specification and testing requirements, acceptance and quality control, as well as inspection during construction.
Airfield Asphalt Pavement Laboratory Technician
The Airfield Asphalt Pavement Laboratory Technician (AAPLT) Certification is required for personnel that will be responsible for conducting all necessary laboratory tests. If the personnel responsible for the asphalt mix design is separate from the laboratory technician performing acceptance testing, both the asphalt mix designer and acceptance testing laboratory technician will be responsible for obtaining/possessing the certification. The Airfield Asphalt Pavement Laboratory Technician must be present in the laboratory any time laboratory testing is underway.
Airfield Asphalt Pavement QC Manager
The Airfield Asphalt Pavement QC Manager (AAPQCM) Certification is required for personnel who oversee all QC testing and inspection, reviews asphalt pavement transmittals prior to submission to the Government, is responsible for making mix design adjustments, and in charge of all other activities related to performance as required in UFGS 32 12 15.13. The AAPQCM will also ensure that daily reports and necessary transmittals arrive for Government review as specified.

The Airfield Asphalt Pavement Inspector (AAPI) Certification is required for personnel that are responsible for identifying observed paving issues and ensuring these issues are addressed by the contractor quality control staff.
