Flaherty shares updates on NecoTECH\u2019s, including a full-functioning 100% recycled asphalt plant in Columbus that tests inbound RAP streams, fractionates material, and uses recycling agents, some asphalt cement, and recycled rubber to improve performance and consistency. They cover the importance of technology and collaboration through NAPA and other trade shows, plus NecoTECH\u2019s scaling plans, ongoing Air Force partnerships and contracts, licensed Army Corps technologies for patching, and a new smart infrastructure management effort applying AI for preventive and predictive pavement maintenance. \ud83d\udea7 Connect with Steve: \ud83d\udd17 LinkedIn: https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/steve-m-flaherty\/ \ud83c\udf10 Website: https:\/\/necotech.com\/ \ud83c\udf99\ufe0f Connect with Marvin: \ud83c\udf10 Website: https:\/\/inthemixmj.com \ud83d\udcf8 Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/marvinjoles\/ \ud83d\udcf8 In The Mix Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/inthemixmj\/ \u25b6\ufe0f YouTube: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@inthemixmj \ud83c\udfb5 TikTok: https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@marvinjoles \ud83d\udcbc LinkedIn: https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/marvin-joles-4b1b73130\/ \/\/SPONSORS \ud83d\udfe7 1-800 Stencil Products \ud83d\udcde 1-800-783-6245 \ud83d\udd17 https:\/\/1800stencil.com\/ \ud83e\uddf9 Bensink \ud83d\udd17 https:\/\/bensinkrotarybroom.com\/ \ud83d\udee3\ufe0f PaveCo National \ud83d\udcde 1-866-PAVEMENT \ud83d\udd17 https:\/\/paveco.com\/ \ud83d\udccf Moasure \ud83d\udd17 https:\/\/moasu.re\/Marvin \ud83d\udcb8 Save $20 \ud83d\udfe0 1800Stencil \/ RAE Products \ud83d\udd17 https:\/\/rae-products.com\/ \ud83d\udc56 Brunt \ud83d\udd17 www.BruntWorkwear.com \ud83c\udff7\ufe0f Promo Code: MJOLES10 \ud83d\udcb8 Saves $10 on new orders of $60 or more at checkout \ud83d\udccb Jobber \ud83d\udd17 https:\/\/go.getjobber.com\/Marvinjoles \ud83c\udf81 Free 14-day trial \ud83d\udcb8 20% off Jobber for 6 months \ud83d\udcaa 1st Phorm \ud83d\udd17 http:\/\/1stphorm.com\/inthemix \ud83d\ude9a Free shipping on orders over $75 \ud83d\udca1 Portable Lighting Solutions \ud83d\udd17 https:\/\/portablelightingsolutions.net\/ \ud83c\udfd7\ufe0f KM International \ud83d\udd17 https:\/\/www.kminternational.com\/ \ud83e\uddf1 Cemen Tech \ud83d\udd17 https:\/\/cementech.com\/ \ud83d\ude9b Bulk Source \ud83d\udd17 https:\/\/bulksource.com\/ \ud83d\udc99 Dream On 3 \ud83d\udd17 https:\/\/dreamon3.org\/ \ud83c\udf10 Visit Us Online: https:\/\/inthemixmj.com \ud83c\udfa7 About the Podcast The In The Mix podcast highlights the entire asphalt industry, the people who make it go, and the organizations that support it.
