The successful construction of high-performance asphalt pavements relies heavily on the coordinated processes of asphalt delivery, laying, and compaction. This chapter provides a comprehensive examination of the entire paving chain, from plant-to-paver logistics to final compaction and joint construction. The asphalt transport process is analyzed in depth, emphasizing factors such as temperature retention, segregation control, vehicle specifications, driver behavior, and the use of advanced technologies like push-off trailers and real-time logistics tools. These measures are essential for maintaining the homogeneity and workability of the asphalt mix. The chapter then explores best practices in paving operations, detailing the roles of paver components, screed controls, material handling systems, and automation technologies. Techniques for optimizing screed elevation, joint matching, and mat uniformity are discussed alongside the calibration and maintenance of level control systems. Special attention is given to handling variable site conditions, including steep grades, intersections, and overlays on concrete or distressed surfaces. Compaction, a critical determinant of pavement durability, is extensively covered through discussions on roller types, compaction stages, rolling patterns, temperature windows, and equipment selection based on mix type and thickness. The importance of timely and systematic rolling is highlighted to achieve target densities and reduce air voids, thereby enhancing structural performance and resistance to distresses. The chapter concludes with detailed procedures for constructing longitudinal and transverse joints, emphasizing the need for proper edge formation, sealing, and compaction to ensure seamless integration and long-term pavement integrity. Through its in-depth technical guidance and emphasis on quality control, the chapter equips engineers and practitioners with the tools and insights needed to ensure successful asphalt pavement construction from plant to final finish.
