Training Detail

Topics covered in this course include usage, distresses, application considerations, construction, and troubleshooting. This training is part of the Flexible Pavement Preservation Treatment Series and is designed to provide participants with information on ultra-thin, hot-mixed asphalt (HMA) bonded wearing course. 

This training draws on the Pavement Preservation Treatment Construction Guide (PPTCG), a resource for agency and industry pavement preservation practitioners. The PPTCG provides information on basic pavement preservation concepts as well as the different treatments available and how they should be applied.

This course offers professional development hours (PDHs). You will see the PDHs on your course completion certificate, which also serves as documentation of your attendance. PDH requirements vary, therefore, it is up to you to determine whether or not this particular course qualifies under your State or board requirements.

Training level: Intermediate

Target audience: This training is ideal for highway construction and maintenance teams, specifically the highway workers and inspectors involved in the placement of pavement preservation treatments. Design engineers will also benefit from the online guide and the associated training.

Learning outcomes: Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:

• Identify pavement conditions best suited to ultra-thin, HMA bonded wearing course;
• Describe the construction of ultra-thin, HMA bonded wearing course;
• Identify common problems associated with ultra-thin, HMA bonded wearing course and recognize their solutions; and
• List key capabilities and benefits of ultra-thin, HMA bonded wearing course relative to various traffic conditions.
