SUMMARY:Kentucky Transportation Center webinar: The Carrot or the Stick? Employee Engagement
DESCRIPTION:More now than ever\, agencies that maintain highways\, roads\, and streets are counted on to provide fast\, high quality service because good maintenance saves lives and money. Meanwhile\, the roadway system is growing in size and complexity\, and government agencies are under ever-greater scrutiny by the public to perform at their very best. While maintenance needs increase\, the workers\, equipment\, and funds remain in short supply. Shortages or not\, it is vital that workers do good work. The best and quickest way to encourage this is through effective motivation and engagement by their immediate supervisors. This webinar looks at what makes agencies successful\, how to define worker needs and wants\, and how to take advantage of those for increased productivity and employee engagement. Is it the Carrot or the Stick? Join us and find out!

SUMMARY:Chip Seal Best Practices web conference
DESCRIPTION:Chip seals are a common type of surface seal. They provide one of the best forms of sealing the surface against moisture intrusion\, can significantly increase the surface friction\, and can extend the service life of an asphalt pavement as a preservation treatment. Although chip seals typically provide good performance\, there are occasions when a chip seal fails prematurely or does not provide the expected service life. This training describes how to achieve maximum performance and avoid premature failure. \nAfter the training\, you will be able to: \n\nCompare the types of chip seals based on their strengths and weaknesses.\nUse standard guidance and pavement condition information to select a good chip seal candidate.\nIdentify design and construction practices that ensure performance.\n\nAttendees for this class include people who select\, design\, construct\, or inspect chip seal projects.

SUMMARY:National Asphalt Pavement Association webinar: Asphalt Paving in Private Market Applications: Design of Commercial Asphalt Pavements
DESCRIPTION:Join NAPA for a unique presentation on asphalt parking lot pavements. Parking lot pavements have significant differences than traditional roadway pavements. Material types\, mix design technique\, and construction practices will be discussed to improve service life and reduce maintenance costs. Asphalt mix designs are extremely important for low volume\, parking lot mixtures. The importance of sufficient voids in mineral aggregates\, or VMA will be outlined with effective maneuvers\, both in the lab and field to achieve higher VMA. With larger area footprints\, unstable subgrades are common during construction of parking lot pavements. Therefore\, we will equip you with mitigation methods for dealing with poor subgrades\, combined with effective methods of in place density and appropriate compaction.

SUMMARY:Hot Mix Asphalt Acceptance Based on Percent Within Limits webinar
DESCRIPTION:Construction acceptance plans can reward or penalize contractors based upon the quality of their work. For asphalt pavement construction work\, the goal of the acceptance plan is to encourage contractors to focus on materials and construction factors that help achieve better performance and longer life. For hot-mix asphalt (HMA) paving\, there are three primary factors that affect performance: \n\nGradation of the aggregate.\nAsphalt binder content.\nCompacted density.\n\nIn 2016\, under the sponsorship of the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT)\, researchers at the University of Nevada Reno’s Western Regional Superpave Center developed a tool to use as an alternative to the conventional mix acceptance procedure in the state’s Standard. The new methodology applies a statistical-based\, percent within limits (PWL) approach to determine if the as-constructed mix properties fall within acceptable limits and if the contractor is eligible for a bonus or incurs a penalty. (Note that the assessment is made on a lot-by-lot basis). Read NDOT Research Report No. 206-10-803\, “Develop a PWL System for Dense Graded Hot Mix Asphalt Construction\, Including Pay Factors” (Jan 2015) to learn more about the tool. \nDuring this 2-hour webinar\, learn more about the tool and how it can be applied at your agency. \nThe participants who will benefit the most from the webinar include engineers involved with preparing pavement construction specifications\, overseeing pavement construction\, and determining final contractor payment. Participants will receive a digital version of the NDOT report and the mix acceptance tool. \nClick here for further information.

SUMMARY:Pavement Preservation & Recycling Alliance webinar: Setting & Achieving Road Network Goals\, Featuring Kent County\, MI
DESCRIPTION:Six years ago\, The Kent County\, Michigan Road Commission set out to improve their primary road network of nearly 660 miles. This ten-year goal\, moving from 65% rated “Good” or “Fair” to 90%\, came on the heels of a state transportation funding increase. With the influx of revenue\, decision makers asked themselves\, “How are we going to use that money and what can we realistically achieve?”  \nToday\, Kent County is on track to meet expectations. Join us as road commission representatives share their story and the strategies they have taken to accomplish this monumental achievement.  In addition the Michigan county’s successes\, participants of this webinar will walk away with free tools and resources on RoadResource.org that deliver on the same principles and concepts used by Kent County. Learn to put these tools to work for your own road network. \nAs 2021 continues with surprises and uncertainties in economic and infrastructure support\, it is more important than ever for road managers to understand real-life methods to improve road networks– whether budgets are increased or decreased for the year.
