Independent asphalt and bitumen technology advisory
Smart asphalt decisions. From feedstock to field performance.
Senior technical and commercial advice for leaders who want to unlock more value from asphalt and bitumen products, operations, data, specifications, and people.
Led by Pavel Kriz, PhD, P.Eng. — former ExxonMobil / Imperial Oil Principal Asphalt Engineer, Eurobitume President and Asphalt Institute Technical Advisory Committee Chair.
what clients gain
Turn asphalt expertise into growth, confidence, and value.
Much of the value in asphalt and bitumen is decided — or quietly given away — long before the product leaves the refinery: in the crude and feedstock choices, the blending, the specifications, and the data behind them. Kriz Asphalt Technology makes that hidden value visible.
who Kriz Asphalt Technology helps
Value across the asphalt and bitumen chain.
The value looks different in every part of the chain. Start with your role — each links straight to how Kriz Asphalt Technology helps.
Refiners
Crude flexibility, residue value, blending economics and product confidence.
Producers & Terminals
Principal-level technology direction for focused teams, without building a full R&D department.
Laboratories
QA/QC, data confidence, audit readiness, training and efficiency.
Agencies & Owners
Specification, acceptance, sustainability and beyond-spec material judgment.
Contractors
Binder interpretation, recycling strategy, supplier claims and agency dialogue.
how we work
Start small. Make one decision better.
Most engagements begin with a single, well-scoped question — and grow only if the value is obvious. No retainer required to start.
A focused review
One tightly scoped question — a spec, a grade change, a supplier claim — answered with evidence you can act on.
A standing advisor
Principal-level judgment on call as decisions come up, so your team moves without guessing.
An independent authority
A defensible, third-party read for when the answer has to hold up — to a customer, an agency, or a court.
