Pavement Preservation: Design and Construction of Quality Preventive Maintenance Treatments (NHI Course #131103) 
Category: Pavement Preservation/Rehabilitation
Description: In preventive maintenance, the types of treatments and the timing of their applications provide highway agencies with a very broad range of life-extending treatment techniques and enable agencies to achieve their goals of enhancing pavement performance in a cost-effective and efficient manner while meeting their customers' need for an improved level of service. Obtaining optimum value from preventive maintenance treatments is only possible when preventive maintenance activities are fully linked to a pavement management system. This course targets those field personnel involved in constructing preventive maintenance treatments, including both buying agency's inspectors and the contractors' foremen and field crews. It contains modules on all of the categories of preventive maintenance treatments in widespread use today, focusing on the best practices for designing and constructing those treatments. It also addresses troubleshooting construction practices, so that participants can clearly identify the results of poor construction practices.

Flex Preservation and Rehabilitation 
Category: Pavement Preservation/Rehabilitation
Description: This workshop is designed to provide an overview of the available technology and tools that make implementing a pavement preservation program feasible. An effective pavement preservation program encompasses a full range of maintenance strategies, as well as rehabilitation treatments, with the goal of enhancing pavement performance (ride, quality, safety, service life, etc.). Pavement preservation takes the maintenance process one step further by carefully choosing and timing pavement maintenance applications to extend the life of the pavement. Additionally, the workshop will introduce some new preventative maintenance technologies. Topics include: Techniques for asphalt pavement evaluation, including pavement condition rating and non-destructive testing; Discussion of how to select the best maintenance strategy; choose the right treatment at the right time on the right project; Overview of the various maintenance treatments and their construction practices: fog seal, chip seal, double chip seal, slurry seal, micro-surfacing, Macro®–Surfacing, bonded thin overlay, thin overlay, new technology or processes; Overview of material properties—how they are produced, and proper handling and storage of aggregates, emulsions, cutbacks, and asphalts.
