Asphalt paving construction productivity depends on the smooth running of laying operations and effective contractual relationships. Poor construction practices often lead to surface defects, incorrect layer thickness and shape problems. It is easy to underestimate the costs associated with rework and/or the repair of asphalt surfacing that competent supervision would have avoided in the first place.
Topics include:
- Quality assurance
- Contract administration
- Site communication
- Programming sequences
- On and off site organisation
- Project control and evaluation of activities
- Materials used in paving
- Overview of mix design
- Pre-sealing site checks
- Validating site conditions
- Supervision of operations
- Field sampling and testing
- Traffic control
- health and safety
On completion of this course participants will have the knowledge to:
- Apply knowledge of types of bitumen, aggregates, additives and design processes to construction of asphalt pavings
- Check that specified designs remain valid for conditions on site at time of application
- Supervise physical works involved in surface preparation and asphaltic paving construction
- Liaise with client, management, site staff and public during the project
- Deploy personnel, plant and equipment in a productive manner and in compliance with contract requirements
