About Vince Aurilio

Vince Aurilio, P.Eng. is currently the senior technical director of Sripath Technologies, providing technical support across the Sripath Group of Companies to customers and partners worldwide.

With over 40 years of experience as a licensed professional engineer and as an expert in pavement design and materials engineering, Vince Aurilio brings critical expertise and knowledge of industry best practices and trends to every client and project. This includes experience spanning paving solutions for roadways and airports for both private and public transportation.

Aurilio has extensive experience in materials spanning hot mix and warm mix asphalt design and testing, reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) mix design, and stone matrix asphalt (SMA) mix design. He is an advocate of balanced mix design (BMD), which seeks to improve pavement performance through consideration of asphalt mix performance properties rather than relying solely on the characteristics of the binder to meet specifications.

Aurilio is also knowledgeable in geotechnical investigation, non-destructive deflection testing (FWD), in-place pavement recycling and full depth reclamation, asphalt performance testing, pavement evaluations, forensic studies, and life cycle cost analysis.

In addition to his work with Sripath, Aurilio is the owner and president of VA Asphalt Pavement Technologies, an independent engineering firm specializing in asphalt materials, pavement design, asphalt mix design, construction QC/QA, forensic evaluations, and training. Aurilio is consulted by global experts and has authored or coauthored over 30 peer-reviewed papers. He is also a sought-after presenter for keynotes focused on paving materials and design.

Aurilio holds a number of affiliations including with the Transportation Research Board, Transportation Association of Canada, and Canadian Asphalt Technical Association, among others. He also held the position of executive director for the Ontario Asphalt Pavement Council (a council of ORBA) from 2015-2019. Based in Ontario, Canada, he has been a licensed member of Professional Engineers Ontario since 1985.

How Water Affects Asphalt Sustainability and Durability: From Pavement Performance to Energy Use

Water is one of the most persistent and underestimated forces acting on asphalt roadways. While traffic, climate, and materials all influence pavement performance, moisture often determines how long a surface lasts and how sustainable it truly is. Factors such as how water interacts with asphalt binder and aggregate and the hidden energy costs of removing moisture from aggregate or reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) piles are just the start of how water [...]

How Switching to WMA Helps Asphalt Plants Maintain Environmental Compliance

As environmental regulations continue to tighten, asphalt producers remain under growing pressure to reduce emissions, odors, and visible smoke without sacrificing mix quality or production efficiency. One of the most effective ways plants are meeting these challenges is by switching to warm mix asphalt (WMA). Beyond energy savings, WMA offers tangible compliance advantages that can directly address stack emissions, opacity limits, and neighborhood concerns, making [...]

The Potential for Cost Savings with Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP)

Faced with fluctuating commodity prices and increasing pressure to adopt sustainable construction practices, the asphalt paving industry is turning to solutions that deliver economic and environmental value. Among these, the use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) stands out as one of the most impactful. With virgin aggregate and bitumen prices rising and often volatile due to global supply chain disruptions and crude oil [...]

What Does High-RAP Mix Design Mean and Does It Work?

High-RAP mix design has become central to conversations as sustainability and performance expectations continue to reshape the asphalt industry. Contractors, agencies, and producers are asking the same core questions: What qualifies as high RAP? How does RAP use affect asphalt mix design? Does high-RAP mix design actually work? Understanding the role of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and the increasing importance of [...]
