DESCRIPTION:
This training is part of the "Pavement Preservation Treatment" series and is designed to provide participants with information on slurry seals. Topics include: reasons to use slurry seals, gradations of slurry seal aggregate, preparation and application
process, and problems and solutions.
This training draws on the Pavement Preservation Treatment Construction Guide (PPTCG), which was created by FHWA, in partnership with Caltrans, the National Center for Pavement Preservation, and the Transportation Curriculum Coordination Council (TCCC) as
a resource for agency and industry pavement preservation practitioners. It provides information on basic pavement preservation concepts and the different treatments available and how they should be applied, so agencies can make informed decisions when determining
which treatments best fit their pavement preservation needs. The training is primarily targeted at individuals unfamiliar with pavement preservation policy and technical information.
To take the entire series of trainings for the PPTCG, access the NHI website and register for NHI-131110.
OUTCOMES:
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
- Identify the type of slurry seal appropriate to various traffic conditions.
- Describe the construction of slurry seals.
- Identify common problems associated with slurry seals and recognize their solutions.
- List the key capabilities and limitations of slurry seals.
TARGET AUDIENCE:
The primary audience for the Pavement Preservation Treatment Construction WBT course is Federal, State, and local highway construction and maintenance teams, specifically the highway workers and inspectors involved in the placement of pavement preservation
treatments. Although not in the primary audience, design engineers will also benefit from the online guide and the associated training. The training course is primarily targeted at individuals unfamiliar with pavement preservation policy and technical information.
