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
