Description
The construction and maintenance of a pavement are the most expensive activities performed by the owner. Ensuring the practices followed by the contractor, whether constructing a new roadway or placing an asphalt overlay, is an important function of an inspector. The instructors will discuss the typical construction processes when building a new asphalt pavement or overlay. Special attention will be devoted to the inspection points followed in Virginia Department of Transportation projects. Upon completion, attendees will have a better understanding of the overall construction/overlay procedures and the relevant specifications.
The outcomes of this class should allow the attendee to:
- Learn the key factors that must be evaluated for a proper new pavement or overlay construction.
- Learn the inspection points during the construction paving process.
