In June, 2007, Mary Lydecker and Amanda Bailey were taken on a tour of Aggregate Industries, an asphalt drum plant located in Chelmsford, MA.  Lead by Dominic Mantica, the General Superintendent of the Bituminous Division of Aggregate Industries, the tour highlighted the entire process, from beginning to end and back to the beginning again, as asphalt is 100% recyclable.  You can get a good idea of the asphalt creation process and the tools they use by following along with the photo essay Mary and Amanda have created thanks to Dominic and his crew and the information they provided.
