AIA Mission Statement and By-Laws
MISSION STATEMENT
The future of the Fabric Interlayer industry, the growth and development, will be determined in large part by the value provided the customer. Value in our industry is measured by acceptable long-term performance of the interlayer system. In all aspects of construction, long-term performance is a direct result of the quality of construction practices and materials used to build the system.
KEYS TO LONG TERM PERFORMANCE
The following components play the greatest role in performance of the final
product:
- Proper surface preparation
- Application rate of bonding medium (tack).
- Relative temperature of the bonding medium at the time of fabric
embedment. - Asphalt concrete mix temperature, thickness, mechanical compaction and
consequent density at lay down.
HYPOTHESIS
This Association believes that most “failures” in interlayer performance are the
direct result of one or a combination of the above key elements. By improving
construction inspection and lay down procedures as well as knowledge base, the
entire industry will benefit from improved long-term system performance.
GOALS
Through a coordinated effort of various industry experts, AIA has produced a
QC/QA manual detailing the critical design, specification and inspection guidelines, equipment and tolerance limits for system quality control. This is supplemented by documents that;
- A. Provide the technical information, forensic data, samples and actual case
histories to confirm the hypotheses. - B. Provide inspection personnel with procedures, tests and a list of supplies
necessary to monitor and assure a quality project.
