UTAH ASPHALT PAVEMENT ASSOCIATON NEWSLETTER

Executive Director's Message:
August was another tremendously busy month for UAPA from attending the SAPA Summer Meeting in Virginia to hosting our 4th Annual UAPA Golf Classic; the month seemed to fly by in a flash. That's why I was grateful for one brief moment on the morning of the golf tournament to pause and remember what really matters in life (I took the picture to capture this brief moment).
In fact, the golf tournament is one of my favorite things that we do as an association because it gives us a chance to help our community and the UAPA Scholarship Fund. This year, through your generous support and donations at the tournament we were able to make a difference for the Salt Lake Valley Habitat for Humanity while adding to the future educational opportunities for leaders in our industry.

US Demand For Asphalt to Increase 3.3 % Annually
US demand for asphalt is forecast to increase 3.3 percent annually to 26.8 million tons in 2019, according to a new report. This is equivalent to 148.0 million barrels of asphalt, the vast majority of which is refined petroleum asphalt.
According to the report,
Asphalt to 2019
, published by Freedonia Group,
asphalt demand will be spurred by a rebound in building construction expenditures, which will boost demand for asphalt shingles and such bituminous low-slope roofing products as modified bitumen membranes.
