Upcoming Class Dates
Description
While the construction of high quality, long-lasting asphalt pavements begins with their design, the details of good construction workmanship cannot be over emphasized. Industry experts Tim Murphy, P.E., Murphy Pavement Technology, and Dave Johnson, P.E., Asphalt Institute Senior Regional Engineer, bring their combined 60+ years of experience in this arena with a one-day Idaho Asphalt Workmanship Training. Instruction will begin at 8:00 and end at 4:30. Morning, afternoon, and lunch breaks will occur. Eight Professional Development Hours are offered to attendees
Tim and Dave have designed this class to emphasize Idaho specifications for the construction of asphalt pavements.
In this workshop, you will learn the basics of each of the important steps in the construction process and how to properly balance the paving operation. These steps include how the asphalt mixture is produced and hauled to the project, best practices for preparing the underlying layers for paving, placement/laydown best practices, and the compaction process for asphalt mixtures with an emphasis on the longitudinal joint. Tim and Dave will also discuss the importance of the quality assurance process during each of the critical phases of construction to make sure quality is achieved. The specific agenda for the course is as follows:
