'Asphalt Pavement 101'
The problem: Your paving teams are in need of 'basic training' or a refresher course that addresses the fundamentals and recent developments in the world of asphalt pavement construction.
The solution: A quick and affordable overview of the basic information that a contractor's personnel should know, whether they are new hires or seasoned veterans.
You asked and we listened. You want a simple and affordable training opportunity for your asphalt workers, but their time is tight and your training budget is even tighter. With that in mind, CalAPA is pleased to offer a half-day seminar focusing on the basic information that paving workers and technicians should know. This interactive event will be led by Roger Smith, an asphalt pavement consultant and former engineer with the Asphalt Institute and Caltrans. His broad experience and training skills bring a valuable perspective to this timely seminar. Fasten your seatbelts! We’ll pack a lot of information into four hours, and there will be some valuable handouts to take away for future reference.
Who should attend? Contractor paving crews, quality control specialists and lab personnel.
