Quality Control at Peckham

Our Commitment to You

By definition, quality is: "Character with respect to fineness or level of excellence".

In the construction industry, real quality requires a commitment not only from the people directly involved with production, but also from top management - who must possess a desire and strategy to do things right.

PII is this sort of forward thinking company.

Many years ago, PII instituted a strict quality control program to ensure quality production at its construction material manufacturing facilities. This program emphasizes current and new technologies.

The in-house Technical Services Department at PII oversees the quality control duties - and maintains primary laboratories and satellite laboratories at each individual production facility.

Full Spectrum Testing

Quality control at our liquid asphalt terminal locations includes: "full spectrum" testing and certification of a barge/ship containing various grades of liquid asphalt cement, testing and certification of cutbacks blended on site, testing and certification of asphalt emulsion manufacture.

Quality control at our quarries includes: the gradation evaluation of each of the produced materials, monitor/discharge gradations to determine equipment efficiency, determine purity percentages of mineral products produced, test and certify products for various contracts, monitor product bulk/apparent specific gravity to ensure consistency, NYSDOT source reports and petrographic analyses.

Quality control at the hot mix asphalt plants includes: sample and test hot bin material during production for the development of Super Pave Mix designs - monitor gradation, temperature, asphalt content, theoretical specific gravities, bulk specific gravities of component materials, as well as final products for information purposes.

At PII we believe our strategy, years of experience, and willingness to try new ideas will bring us to an even greater level of success in quality control - allowing us to serve you even better as the industry moves toward end result and performance based specifications.
