Airfield Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Paving Workshop

The Transportation systems center conducts one-day HMA airfield paving workshops which cover; mix design, plant production, surface preparation, transportation, placement, compaction, quality control / quality assurance, and performance problems. These workshops are typically conducted on-site in conjunction with a project. They present an overview of key aspects of Department of Defense HMA paving specifications, best practices and lessons learned, and quality based processes, as well as controls and pavement performance issues.

Airfield Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) Paving Workshop

The Transportation systems center conducts two-day PCC Airfield Paving Workshops which cover; Contractor Quality Control, Demolition, Subgrade/Base/Drainage Layer, Mix Design, Plants and Uniformity, Fix & Slip Form Paving, Dowel Installation, QC Testing and QA Acceptance. These workshops are typically conducted on-site in conjunction with a project. One and a half days are spent with the prime contractors and their subcontractors executing the work. The second half of day 2 is left open for discussion and to meet with government personnel to review quality assurance and execution of the airfield paving activities. These workshops present an overview of key aspects of Department of Defense PCC paving specifications, best practices and lessons learned, quality based processes, as well as controls and pavement performance issues.

Combined HMA and PCC Airfield Paving workshop

In instances where a project involves both HMA and PCC airfield construction, the Transportation Systems Center can conduct a combined HMA and PCC workshop covering the same material described above.

Who Should Attend:

Project Prime Contractor: Quality Control Staff (CQCSM & Alternate), Paving Superintendent, Laboratory Personnel (e.g. Mix Design P.E., ACI Field Testing Tech, Strength Testing Tech.), ACI Finishing Tech., Batch Plant Operator, ACI Concrete Transportation Inspector, Material Suppliers (aggregate, cement, fly ash, admixtures); Major Subcontractors: demolition, doweling, sawing, sealing, grooving
Project DoD Construction Agent: (e.g. USACE Resident Engineer, Project Engineer, Quality Assurance Representatives, QA Testing Laboratory, Contracting Officer);
Project Customer: Base CE, Department of Public Works
Other DoD or DoD contract personnel involved in airfield paving projects.

There are currently no Tri-Service meetings scheduled. Please check again at a later date for new workshop offerings.

The Railroad Track Standards and Maintenance Course is sponsored by Headquarters Installation Management Command (IMCOM) as part of the Army Transportation Infrastructure Inspection Program (ATIIP). This course is primarily intended for those who will be performing actual railroad inspection duties and thus require US Army Track Inspector certification as set forth in AR 420-1. However, others such as design engineers, transportation officers, Army National Guard or Reserve Component transportation personnel, etc. are encouraged to attend. Students in this course will gain an in-depth understanding of UFC 4-860-03 Railroad Track Maintenance & Safety Standards, which governs inspection and maintenance of all Department of Defense owned railroad track. The course will focus on the basic components of railroad track, their function and importance, and the standards to which each component is required to be maintained. Training will include field work where students will perform different aspects of a visual detailed railroad track inspection according to UFC 4-860-03. Students will also be exposed to maintenance and repair techniques necessary to sustain an operational track network. At the conclusion of the course, students will have an opportunity to take the US Army Certified Track Inspector test, which is one of the criteria that must be met to become a US Army Certified Track Inspector (CTI).
