The Mix You Need, When You Need It

We opened our first asphalt plant more than 40 years ago. Since then, we’ve added six more plants to our roster, giving Superior Bowen an annual production capacity of over 3 million tons.

Our facilities work in tandem with our materials testing team to produce DOT-certified, commercial, FAA-compliant, and custom mix designs.

PRODUCTS

What We Make

We’re a premier partner for projects of any scale, from local street improvements to major transportation infrastructure.

  • Hot Mix
    arrow

    Superior Bowen designs and delivers cost-effective, high-quality hot-mix asphalt ideal for any pavement application. We’re proud to provide environmental product declarations (EPDs) for any mix we produce.

  • Warm Mix
    arrow

    Whether you’re looking to pave in cooler weather, haul asphalt further from KC, or improve asphalt compaction, warm-mix asphalt makes it all possible. We’ll reduce binder viscosity and incorporate the right additives to ensure performance.

  • Kevlar® Fibers
    arrow

    Looking for an innovative solution that delivers ultimate performance and lasting reliability? Superior Bowen’s development team has introduced Kevlar® fibers into various mix designs. These high-strength, fully synthetic asphalt additives extend pavement life and reduce maintenance costs.

  • Rejuvenators
    arrow

    Our proprietary asphalt rejuvenators restore aged asphalt binders, reducing oxidative damage and extending the lifespan of asphalt surfaces.

  • Saturock™ (Cold Patch)
    arrow

    We produce Saturock™, a year-round, cold-mix patching solution for road repair (think potholes, parking lots, utility cuts, and bridge joins). Municipalities, school districts, DOTs, homeowners, and railroads can stockpile Saturock™ (it’s shelf stable) and use it as needed, 365 days a year, rain or shine. Get in touch for more information.

  • Balanced Mix Design
    arrow

    In addition to volumetric analysis, our team at Construction Materials Testing Group tests mixes for performance, ensuring that your asphalt will withstand rutting, cracking, and other challenges.

  • Ground Tire Rubber
    arrow

    Superior Bowen incorporates ground tire rubber (GTR), also known as crumb rubber modifier (CRM), in mix designs when requested. This sustainable ingredient increases pavement durability, improves skid resistance in wet conditions, and reduces road noise.

    GTR can be blended into the binder using a wet process (where rubber particles mix directly with liquid asphalt to create a modified binder) or introduced through a dry process (where rubber is added to aggregate before binder incorporation). Each method offers unique performance benefits depending on project requirements.

Safety Spotlight: ASPHALT PRODUCTION
“Safety comes first, second, and third at our plants. It's in how we line up trucks under silos, how we back up with eyes wide open, and how we look out for each other. It's about keeping your head on a swivel and making sure everyone heads home safely.”
Miles Grantham
Plant Lead
