COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This training was prepared by the Transportation Curriculum Coordination Council (TCCC) in partnership with NHI to provide guidance on critical concrete pavement preservation issues. The training was sponsored by the FHWA and developed by the National Concrete Pavement Technology Center at Iowa State University in cooperation with FHWA.
This module discusses how preventative maintenance impacts pavement preservation, good candidates for preservation, and the benefits to pavement preservation. This module also describes the common procedures associated with conducting thorough pavement evaluations.
This module is part of the curriculum from the Concrete Pavement Preservation Series (FHWA-NHI-131126) which presents current guidelines and recommendations for the design, construction, and selection of cost-effective concrete pavement preservation strategies. The other Web-based training modules are:
- NHI-131126 Concrete Pavement Preservation Series with downloadable version of the FHWA Concrete Pavement Preservation Guide
- NHI-131126A: Pavement Preservation Concepts
- NHI-131126B: Concrete Pavement Evaluation

TARGET AUDIENCE:
The intended audience is quite diverse, and includes design engineers, quality control personnel, contractors, suppliers, technicians, and trades people. While the course is aimed at those who have some familiarity with concrete pavements and pavement preservation, it should also be of value to those that are new to the field.
This course is recommended for the Transportation Curriculum Coordination Council levels I - IV.
