Training Workshop on Thin Surface Treatments
"Thin Surface Treatments (Bituminous Pavements)" is a two-day class offered by the Kansas State University Transportation Center. This course is intended to educate and certify engineers, inspectors, technicians, and other personnel who are or will be involved in the implementation of thin surface treatments for pavement preservation or substantial maintenance projects in Kansas. Instruction will be provided by selected instructors from the industry. It is envisioned that successful completion of the course and certification (subject to a passing score on a test given at the end of each module) will be required to work on the maintenance projects in the near future. The following modules will be included in the course:
- Introduction to Thin Surface Treatment and Project Selection
- Micro Surfacing
- Surface Recycling
- Chip Seal
- Ultra-Thin Bonded Asphalt Surface (UBAS)
A detailed outline of each module can be found at http://transport.ksu.edu/reports/thin.pdf
