3 About the Event 1 Course Description Better ride quality, safer roads, reduced fuel consumption, lower emissions and longer service life are some of the tangible benefits deriving from proper maintenance techniques and strategies for asphalt pavements. With this in mind, the IRF is pleased to announce a hands-on workshop designed to providing attendees with world-class guidance on Asphalt & Emulsion Binders, Aggregates and Pavement Condition Surveys, and Asphalt Pavement Maintenance Techniques. Learning Outcomes Learn about the qualities of asphalt and emulsions, where it comes from, how it s produced and how to select the best material for your project. Learn about properly selecting the best local aggregates and what qualities are important to getting good results. Learn about pavement preservation treatments and how to select the best approach based on road conditions. Learn how to design, specify, and properly place the right treatment for the right road at the right time. Learn about the latest advances in the development of designs, materials, additives, and placement techniques. Target Audience Road & Transport Agencies Executives Paving Contractors Consulting Engineers Asphalt Technologists & Technicians Road Agency Professionals University Professors and Academics Hotel Hyatt Centric Fisherman s Wharf San Francisco 555 North Point St, San Francisco, CA Website:

4 2 Schedule-at-a-Glance LEAD INSTRUCTOR BILL O LEARY President, Prime Materials and Supply Mr. O Leary has been involved in the production of asphalt and asphalt emulsions since 1980 primarily as the President and founder of Prime Materials and Supply a Texas based asphalt emulsion producer. He is a longtime advocate for Pavement Preservation serving multiple terms as President of the Foundation for Pavement Preservation (FP2) that provides resources to advance knowledge for managing and preserving pavements. FP2 supports research to educate government and industry professionals in the economical, safety and performance advantages of pavement preservation. Two term President of the Asphalt Emulsion Manufacturers Association, an International Organization representing the asphalt emulsion industry. Appointed member of Transportation Research Board Committee on Pavement Maintenance AHD-20 and as a board member of numerous other industry associations. Bill has an in-depth knowledge of asphalt materials from production to placement and has conducted seminars and made hundreds of presentations. DAY 1 TUESDAY, APRIL 11 ASPHALT AND ASPHALT EMULSION BINDERS Day One is intended to give the attendee a good understanding of asphalt and emulsions for use in a wide variety of applications. The source of asphalt, how it s produced and the current market outlook will be discussed. There are significant differences in asphalt and emulsion products and it is necessary to have a good understanding of these products to select the proper grade for a paving project. Modifying, processing and laboratory testing will be explained. This information will be referred back to over the next several days of this workshop. 08:00 Asphalt as a Material - Bill O Leary What Qualities to Look for in a Good Asphalt? Current Supply and Market Outlook 09:30 Break 10:00 Testing Methods and Why These Qualities are Important to Understand - Gary Houston Traditional Test and Specifications SuperPave and Performance Grade Testing and Specifications 12:00 Lunch 13:00 Processing and Manufacturing Specific Asphalt Grades to Meet Current Specifications - Bill O Leary Blending and Modifying Asphalt to Produce Desired Grades Additives Used in Processing Equipment and Processes Used in Modification 14:30 Break 15:00 Manufacturing Asphalt Emulsions - Gary Houston Overview of EmulsionsChemicals and Processing Equipment Understanding what type asphalt or emulsion is necessary for specific end use 16:00 17:00 Manufacturing Asphalt Emulsions - Vince Vopat Chemical and Processing Base Asphalt Properties Production Equipment Key Steps in Production

5 Schedule-at-a-Glance 3 DAY 2 WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12 AGGREGATES AND PAVEMENT CONDITION SURVEYS Day Two: Aggregate is the largest volume of materials needed for any paving project. Understanding the aggregate needs to carry out a paving project is of great importance. Some paving techniques require very specific aggregate qualities and determining if the local aggregate is suitable for a given technique is the first step. Quality control and testing guidelines will be discussed. The afternoon will be an overview of developing a paving condition survey necessary for determining priorities, setting budgets and selecting the best paving options. 08:00 Selecting Asphalt for Specific Applications - Bill O Leary Conventional Hot Mix Paving Chip Sealing Cold Mixes Prime Coats Tack Coats Other 09:30 Break 10:00 Selecting Aggregates for Your Project - Bill O Leary Aggregate Sources Gradations Logistics od Aggregate Source and Project Site Determining Suitability for Your Project 12:00 Lunch 13:00 Evaluating Your Existing Pavement Conditions And Needs - Gary Houston Condition surveys and options for developing data Setting priorities for managing your network Budgets and project selection 14:30 Break 15:00 Pavement Preservation - Rex Eberly Pavement Preservation Approach to Managing Paving Assets.

7 Schedule-at-a-Glance 5 DAY 4 FRIDAY, APRIL 14 ASPHALT PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE TECHNIQUES (CONT.) Day Four covers Micro Surfacing and Slurry Seal techniques. Thin overlays have gained great acceptance due to significant improvements to designs and the use of new additives. The cost of asphalt and tight budgets has led to the wide use of thin overlays, this is a very useful mix for maintenance and rehabilitation of asphalt roadways. After lunch is an overview of milling and profiling that may be applicable to most resurfacing technique and tack coats and the more robust underseals SAM s (stress absorbing membranes) finally the last hour is reserved for Q & A. 08:00 Micro Surfacing and Slurry Seals - Rex Eberly Overview of Technique Project Selection Mix Designs and Testing Placement and Inspection Case Study and Cost 09:15 Micro Surfacing Laboratory Mix Demonstration - Sallie Houston Introduction to Micro Surfacing Mix Design Hand Mix DemonstratioN 10:00 Break 10:30 Multi- Layer Systems - Gary Houston What are multi-layer systems Benefits Project selection Placement and Inspection 12:00 Lunch 13:00 New Thin Overlay Mixes - Bill O Leary Background and Development of Design Unique Qualities and Additives in Thin Overlays Placement and Inspection Case Studies and Research 14:30 Break 15:00 Tack Coats and Undersealing - Bill O Leary Importance of Tack Coats When to Underseal / SAM 16:00 17:00 Question and Answers
