Our Impact

9 states + Quebec•BMD working group since 2023

This Northeast BMD group has significantly shortened the learning curve for the participating agencies, bringing the group to a common level of understanding much more quickly than would have been possible working individually.

It is absolutely a benefit to know what other states are doing. Shared knowledge across the Northeast helps make innovation feel practical rather than risky.

Knowing what our neighboring States are doing helps show us we are not operating outside the box, and when you can point to them, those conversations with stakeholders get a lot easier.

Understanding the variability of the BMD tests is a huge part of implementation so that you can interpret data properly, and the ILS efforts by the group have produced valuable information so we can all get better.

The experts at AIEI can present and explain things so clearly it helps me relay that to my staff.

50+ projects•Hi-Mod statewide (600,000+ tons placed)

It's huge to know what other states are doing, because you don't have to act like you're inventing the wheel when you try something new.

41 mixtures · 13 projects•BMD field evidence across Texas (1–6 yrs in service)

We want to make data-driven decisions. One state, no matter how big it is, isn't going to have enough resources to do that alone. We need structured resources like AIEI to help us mine what's already known.

Better density. Greater consistency. Longer pavement life.

Having knowledgeable staff is important to make quality improvements, and resources provided by AIEI is huge to help keep our staff informed.

Better Mixtures. Better Density. Better Value.

AIEI has certainly accelerated the process of investigating and implementing BMD for us.
