Then came the delicate dance of the pavers. Elias checked the temperature of the mix constantly; too cold and it wouldn't compact, too hot and the binder would become brittle. He directed the rollers with the precision of a conductor, ensuring the density was uniform. He knew that even a 1% deviation in air voids could shorten the road’s life by years.
