Quality control and testing for asphalt paving in Northwest Arkansas

Quality Control and Testing

Built on Quality Since 1974

At Tomlinson Asphalt, quality isn't an afterthought: it's the foundation of everything we do.

For more than 50 years, our reputation has been built on delivering paving and concrete work that lasts. To uphold that standard, we maintain a dedicated in-house quality control team and offer advanced testing methods.

Our In-House Quality Control Team

Unlike many contractors who rely solely on outside labs, we employ our own trained technicians who are on-site throughout the job. Their role is to verify materials, monitor compaction, and confirm that every layer meets the required specifications before the next phase begins.


Immediate Problem Resolution

Problems are caught and corrected immediately.

Timeline Alignment

Testing aligns with project timelines instead of slowing them down.

Consistent Standards

Results are consistent, documented, and held to the highest standards.

Nuclear Density Testing

One of the key tools we use is nuclear density testing: a reliable method for measuring soil and asphalt compaction.

Proper compaction is essential to pavement performance, and this testing ensures that every lift achieves the density required for long-term durability.

By verifying compaction as we build, we reduce the risk of premature pavement failure, rutting, or settlement. The result is a finished product that performs the way it should, year after year.

More Than Just Asphalt

Our quality control extends beyond asphalt paving.

Whether it's aggregate base compaction, concrete strength testing, or storm drainage installation, our team applies the same level of scrutiny to ensure every component of the project meets or exceeds specifications.

Why It Matters


Longer Pavement Life

Proper density and compaction extend the service life of asphalt and concrete surfaces.

Cost Savings

Reducing the risk of premature failure saves money on repairs and maintenance.

Peace of Mind

Clients know their projects are backed by documented quality control at every stage.
