Bring our experts to your location for convenient on-site training. NCAT developed this educational program for agency engineers to provide a clear and up-to-date understanding of asphalt technology and best practices. Engineers involved with materials, construction, design, preservation, and rehabilitation of asphalt pavements will benefit from the workshop.
The suggested class size is 24 participants. Contact Stacie Hunter for additional information or to schedule a course.
The workshop provides technical background in all phases of asphalt paving technology and ties this knowledge to current state practices to improve pavement performance. Engineers will return to their departments with improved expertise in fundamental asphalt principles, pavement design, materials quality, and construction practices. The workshop also covers pavement performance, troubleshooting, preservation, and rehabilitation techniques.
This intensive five-day program runs from 8:00 a.m. Monday to 12:00 noon Friday. It includes lectures, lab demonstrations, and peer discussions to explore all aspects of asphalt technology. Topics include:
Lab demonstrations include binder and aggregate characterization, mix design, and performance testing.
Participants receive a course notebook and supporting materials. A copy of the NCAT textbook, the Hot Mix Asphalt Paving Handbook, may also be provided.
This course provides 36 Professional Development Hours.
“This asphalt training course equipped WSDOT engineers to make better decisions related to pavement design, construction and quality control. Participants have a renewed confidence and understanding of how project engineering decisions made today will influence the long-term performance of Washington State's asphalt pavements.” – Jeff Uhlmeyer, State Pavement Engineer, Washington State DOT
“The NCAT Asphalt Engineers Workshop that we held here in Washington provided a unique opportunity for our construction, design, and project engineering staff to better understand each phase of asphalt pavement design, construction, inspection, and testing. The instructors do a great job of covering current practices while incorporating state-specific requirements.” – Joe DeVol, Assistant State Materials Engineer, Washington State DOT
This one-week workshop is taught by two NCAT staff members with over 50 years of combined professional experience.
In-state training is a cost-effective way to support your organization’s learning and development. Agencies are responsible for NCAT staff time, travel, and training materials. A training room and laboratory access are also required. Contact Stacie Hunter for scheduling and further details.
