In 2012, SCAPA partnered with SCDOT to launch the Partners in Quality Program. This program is dedicated to quality in asphalt paving and is held in each of the seven SCDOT districts across the states. Both SCAPA contractors and SCDOT personnel attend the meetings. During these meetings, participants have a chance to get updates on the latest DOT specifications, best practices tips and have an opportunity to review the quality issues related to asphalt paving projects and work together toward achieving quality asphalt pavements.

During the Partners in Quality meetings, SCAPA presents its SCAPA Quality Pavement Awards to the winning districts each year and presents a certificate to all DOT personnel and paving contractors who work on an award winning project.

Now in its sixth year, we have seen over 200 people go through the Partners in Quality program each year and look forward to continuing to foster quality in asphalt paving across SC.
