The Hot Mix Asphalt Center exists to certify, train, and equip specialists with the knowledge and skills needed to inspect, test, and design construction materials. Through education and support that continue beyond certification, the HMAC seeks to help people realize their potential to contribute to the future of Texas’ infrastructure.

To execute our mission, we constantly aim to:

EDUCATE
Through hands-on learning, training, and testing, our instructors ensure specialists not only have a thorough understanding of the subject, but will be able to apply what they’ve learned in a real-world setting. We believe our role as an educational resource doesn’t stop at the door – it continues throughout a specialist’s career.

INNOVATE
From installing the latest, cutting-edge equipment in our labs to streamlining processes and developing new educational tools, we strive to continuously set a higher bar for ourselves and those around us.

EMPOWER
We believe in the potential of every specialist who comes through the center and do all we can to help them be successful before, during, and after certification. Our mantra is that what you do matters. If you put in the work to be the best you can be, we’ll be here to cheer you on and support you along the way.

SERVE
Service is at the core of everything we do. Whether it be for individuals, companies, TxDOT, or the traveling public, the goal is for every certification to result in improved quality of asphalt pavements across the state of Texas.
