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.
Course overview: FHWA, in partnership with Caltrans, the National Center for Pavement Preservation, and the Transportation Curriculum Coordination Council (TC3) created the Pavement Preservation Treatment Construction Guide (PPTCG) as a resource for agency and industry pavement preservation practitioners. This course is designed to provide participants with an introduction to the PPTCG so that they can better use it to familiarize themselves with general information on pavement preservation concepts and techniques. The guide covers basic pavement preservation concepts, as well as information on specific treatments to extend the life of asphalt pavements. The module topics are:
• Introduction to Pavement Preservation (AT-TC3PP003-16-T1)
• Materials (AT-TC3PP004-16-T1)
• Crack Sealing and Fillings (AT-TC3PP005-16-T1)
• Localized Pavement Repairs (AT-TC3PP006-16-T1)
• Chip Seals (AT-TC3PP007-16-T1)
• Fog Seals (AT-TC3PP008-16-T1)
• Slurry Seals (AT-TC3PP009-16-T1)
• Micro-Surfacing (AT-TC3PP010-16-T1)
• Thin Functional HMA Overlay (AT-TC3PP011-16-T1)
• Ultra-Thin HMA Bonded Wearing (AT-TC3PP012-16-T1)
• Selecting the Right Treatment (AT-TC3PP013-16-T1)
Each of the modules is also offered as individual trainings and can be accessed by registering for the course number listed with each module.
Training level: This training is recommended for the Transportation Curriculum Coordination Council levels III and IV.
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 the components and value of a Pavement Preventive Maintenance (PPM) program;
• Identify pavement conditions and other attributes that suggest whether preventive maintenance is appropriate;
• Identify various pavement preservation strategies, techniques, and materials;
• State the performance characteristics of various pavement preservation strategies, techniques, and materials; and
• Select the appropriate strategy(ies), technique(s), and material to extend the service life and retard the development of pavement distress.
