Description

This useful one day training course enables delegates to understand, specify and confidently manage the asphalts used in the construction, maintenance and repair of roads and other paved areas.

The programme focusses on:

The various ways in which roads and other paved areas fail
How to trouble-shoot areas of poor performance
The production, transport and site practices that drastically affect the performance and durability of asphalt
How to achieve intended performance and greatest possible durability from asphalt
Practical guidance on how to achieve durable materials from bituminous mixtures

Supported by extensive case studies, this course will enable you to understand, specify and manage bituminous mixtures for new highway construction, for repairs to existing highways and to confidently troubleshoot poor performance. Specific reference is made to:

European Standards and PD6691 dealing with the production of asphalts
The British Standard, BS594987, covering the transporting, laying and compacting of all asphalts including SMA’s
The revisions to the Highway Agency’s Specification for Highway Works 900 series clauses

Learning Objectives

On completion of the course participants should:

Have a clear understanding of the factors influencing the successful use of bituminous mixtures including hot, warm, semi-warm and cold mixes and use of recycled asphalt
Be capable of selecting and specifying appropriate mix types for a range of pavement layers and site conditions
Appreciate how to maintain surfaces in a safe condition
Be confident of identifying problems with existing paved areas, including TAR-bound materials, and recognise the range of remedial and preventative measures available
Be aware of the standards for bituminous mixtures and their impact on current practice
