Tipco Asphalt Supports Knowledge Exchange on Ground Improvement, Reinforcing Leadership in Pavement Engineering and Sustainable Infrastructure Innovation

on January 27, 2026, Tipco Asphalt Public Company Limited supported a knowledge-exchange seminar on Ground Improvement , with the objective of advancing geotechnical engineering expertise and elevating national infrastructure construction standards through collaboration between academia and the industry.

The seminar featured in-depth research presentations on the application of Fly Ash combined with Geopolymer to enhance the strength of pavement substructure layers, offering an alternative to conventional cement-stabilized materials. This approach addresses both engineering performance and environmental sustainability. The session was led by Professor Dr. Wu Jun from Shanghai Normal University, a distinguished expert in the field, who shared his academic insights and research findings.

In addition, the program included practical experience sharing from a major national infrastructure project—the Third Runway and Taxiway Project at Suvarnabhumi Airport. Technical knowledge on the application of Vacuum Consolidation was presented by Khun Christophe Duboscq, Senior Manager of Asphalt Product Research and Development, demonstrating Tipco Asphalt’s capability in translating engineering knowledge, innovation, and field experience into systematic real-world applications.

The seminar was honored by the presence of Assistant Professor Dr. Kampon Subsomboon, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Naresuan University, and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Engineering Institute of Thailand (Northern Region 2). The event was also attended by Khun Surapon Katekaew, Technical Director, and the Tipco Asphalt Group’s technical team, who engaged in close technical discussions and professional knowledge exchange.

This participation reflects Tipco Asphalt Group’s strong commitment to collaborating with academic and professional partners to develop high-quality, safe, and environmentally responsible infrastructure innovations. It also underscores the Group’s ongoing efforts to expand future collaboration, generate positive societal impact, and reaffirm its role as a leader in asphalt expertise and a partner in innovative solutions, driving sustainable infrastructure development over the long term.

On January 19, 2026, Tipco Asphalt Group’s Construction Business organized a special technical seminar titled “The Porous Asphalt for the City Road” for Construction and Rehabilitation Units of Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA). The seminar was held at the 7th Floor Auditorium, Bangkok City Hall 2.

The opening ceremony was presided over by Khun Mipol Punwatcharapisan, Deputy Director of the Department of Public Works, with more than 20 executives and officials from BMA’s Construction and Rehabilitation Offices in attendance.

The seminar was led by Tipco Asphalt Group, headed by Khun Jeerawat Pongpun, Senior Manager – Commercial, Construction Business, who shared technical knowledge and practical experience in pavement technology. The session focused on the concepts and application of Porous Asphalt Concrete for urban road improvement.

Porous Asphalt Concrete offers key benefits, including reducing surface water accumulation and lowering the risk of traffic accidents caused by hydroplaning. It also helps mitigate traffic noise, making it particularly suitable for areas beneath mass transit stations, underpasses, tunnels, and high-rainfall zones. The technology enhances drainage efficiency, extends pavement lifespan, and improves overall road safety.

This seminar reflects Tipco Asphalt Group’s commitment to promoting innovative pavement solutions while enhancing technical knowledge in collaboration with public sector agencies, supporting road safety and sustainable urban development.
