Ever notice when it rains in Arizona, a simple puddle can turn into quite the tsunami? Luckily, employees of the Materials Lab at ADOT are doing their best to ensure the roads are compacted to decrease the water that stays on the road. Our technicians and inspectors work together to ensure all road projects comply with ADOT specifications and federal requirements.

For a lab technician, being material-istic is all about being in the lab. You’ll receive the materials the inspectors collect in the field, and test both according to AZ and AASHTO testing methods. You’ll be splitting, grading, and sizing soil, various aggregate, and asphalt. Hungry for more? Whether your day looks like a famine or a feast, ADOT ensures your job security and benefits are the least of your worries!
