Direct-to-rail facilities are also in the works and
Elias Bulhoes, senior operations superintendent for the
Lloydminster refinery, says the new Husky Asphalt PMA
plant has definitely been built with the future in mind.
“There is one continuous-feed mill operating there right
now, but there’s actually a second one on site that’s been
purchased,” said Bulhoes. “The building is large enough that
we could tie in a second mill, which would essentially double
our existing production capacity.”
Alberta projects
All the advances at the Lloydminster PMA facility means
more Black Max products will be available for use in large,
multi-year ring road construction projects in Alberta.
Rob Earl, Husky Asphalt’s sales specialist for Alberta, said
polymer-modified asphalt is a crucial component of both the
Calgary Ring Road, the last part of which is still being built,
and the Anthony Henday Drive ring road in Edmonton,
which was completed in 2016.
“Black Max products have been used on virtually all of
these ring road projects to date,” he said.
Earl says that Husky Asphalt’s biggest customer in the
province by far is the Alberta Ministry of Transportation,
which decided in 2017 to change its construction specs so
that any modified asphalt it uses for paving provincial roads
and highways must contain polymer and no other kind of
modifier – a move has which notched up demand for Black
Max products even further.
Earl wasn’t all that surprised by Alberta
government’s decision.
“Fundamentally, polymer-modified asphalt just makes
better pavement,” he said, particularly for highway construc-tion
projects in Alberta and other prairie provinces which
experience wide temperature extremes.
Doney agrees.
“Black Max is tailored to provide
exceptional resistance to rutting, fatigue
and cracking,” he said. “We want our
products to stand up to the test of time.”
Doney explained that because they’re
made from a soft, flexible asphalt base
and polymer for added strength, Black
Max PMAs possess exceptional elastic-ity
that enables them to withstand not
only extreme weather conditions but
heavy traffic as well.
He said that because of its commit-ment
to innovation, Husky Asphalt is
able to develop formulas that basically
meet any asphalt specifications with its
PMA products.
“Not only do we meet spec, but we
often are working to help evolve speci-fications,”
said Doney.
“We have a research division where
we work very closely with different uni-versities,
and we’ll work with provincial
Exchangers at Husky Asphalt’s polymer-modified asphalt production
facility in Lloydminster
“Black Max is tailored
to provide exceptional
resistance to rutting,
fatigue and cracking.
We want our products
to stand up to the
test of time.”
