Description

This workshop is designed to provide an overview of the available technology and tools that make implementing an effective asphalt pavement rehabilitation program feasible. A successful pavement rehabilitation program encompasses a full range of rehabilitation strategies as well as maintenance treatments, with the goal of enhancing pavement performance (ride, quality, safety, service life, etc.) and life (LCC, pavement durability).

This workshop has recently been updated providing attendees with the most recent information, tools, and technologies with emphasis on guidance through the project development process to provide agencies with the information they need to successfully select, develop and construct the best rehabilitation process for their selected roadways.

The training consists of two parts:

• PART I will focus on topics relevant to planning, design, and pavement management staff
• Part II will focus on topics relevant to construction, maintenance staff; project inspection/ project management

Topics Covered

PART I

Pre-Construction

•    Rehabilitation vs Pavement Preservation
•    Roadway Assessment

Post-Construction

•    Performance Measures.
•    Network Management. Resources for Continuous Improvement

PART II

Construction

•    Process Selection Overlays, CIR, FDR, SFDR
•    Best Practices for each process.
