A contractor empties a pile of steaming hot asphalt onto an area where a section of road is being resurfaced near the 100th Logistics Readiness Squadron compound July 12, 2012. The resurfacing project was carried out by both active duty members from the 100th Civil Engineer Squadron and reservists from the 419th Civil Engineer Squadron, Hill Air Force Base, Utah, who spent two weeks here recently. The temperature of the asphalt starts out at 387 degrees Fahrenheit when leaving the manufacturing plant, and when it is emptied from the truck, the temperature is approximately 325 degrees Fahrenheit. The asphalt has to be at a high temperature so it is malleable and can be easily moved around and smoothed out. Once it drops to 180 degrees Fahrenheit, it can then be driven on.
