While visiting the H&K Quarry in Hilltown, Pennsylvania we saw all kinds of cool machinery. It takes some smart people to run this equipment. We saw the where asphalt is made for use in roads and playgrounds. Next to the plant is a building where the employees who control the asphalt operation work. There are a lot of machines and buttons to worry about. The operators push different buttons on the control panels to activate both mechanical and hydraulic machines. The people who work in the control booth have to make sure that the asphalt contains the correct ingredients of sand, asphalt and stone. It is almost like cooking. This job requires a lot of training.
