Pavement�Preservation:�Where�Does�It

Fit�With�Your�Business?Speakers: Bryan Cawley, Federal Highway Administration; KevinKelly, Walsh & Kelly, Inc.; Jim Moulthrop, Fugro Consultants, Inc.Moderator: Craig Parker, Silver Star Construction Co.

Thin overlays and mill and fills have been and are likely to be-come a majority of the work asphalt contractors will do in theyears to come. With dwindling budgets and increased costs formaterials, owners are looking to preserve their existing pave-ment with decreased emphasis on new construction. Congress-man Jim Oberstar, chairman of the Transportation andInfrastructure Committee, has proposed a Surface TransportationAuthorization Act. This program would focus significant federaldollars on preserving and upgrading America’s highways, roadsand bridges based — for the very first time — on national per-formance outcomes. These performance outcomes will likely in-crease dollars spent on “fix it first” rather than “worst first” usedin the past. In this session you will learn:

≠ How proposed legislation will impact where money is spent

≠ What preservation strategies owners are looking at to stretchdollars

≠ How plant-produced asphalt mixes and construction strate-gies can meet the goals of pavement preservation

Concurrent EducationalSessions11:00 am – 12:30 pm

Warm�Mix�–�We’re�Just�Getting�StartedSpeakers: Tom Abbey, Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc.; Harry Bush Jr.,Vulcan Materials Company; Tony Limas, Granite ConstructionCompanyModerator: Ron White, Superior Paving Corp.

Warm mix has been in the U.S. since 2004. Since that time, nu-merous technologies have been developed. A number of stateshave adopted permissive specifications, and many pavementshave been constructed using warm-mix asphalt. Come hear apanel of contractors who have first hand experience with warm-mix asphalt. The future is bright for an industry that has em-braced the means to improve its already excellent environmentalrecord and its operational capabilities through reductions in pro-duction and paving temperatures. You will take away:

≠ Real experiences from contractors who have worked withwarm mix asphalt

≠ Tips to make your next warm-mix job go smoother

≠ A copy of NAPA’s new publication on warm-mix best prac-tices being published in February 2011

Tales�from�the�Front:�Asphalt�vs.�

ConcreteSpeakers: Andrew Gall, Flexible Pavements of Ohio; Gary Hoff-man, Pennsylvania Asphalt Pavement Association; Brian Wood,The Plantmix Asphalt Industry Of Kentucky, Inc.

Many asphalt producers are under siege by concrete associa-tions and promoters in their states. Negative campaigns, attackads, and legislative efforts to mandate pavement selection at thestate level are being launched by an industry that has excess ca-pacity, and is struggling to gain a larger share of the pavementmarket. But the facts are on our side in terms of costs, quality,and sustainability. Asphalt producers need to do a better job oftelling our story. The resurgent Asphalt Pavement Alliance (APA)has been producing a steady stream of new tools to help ourMembers and their state associations set the record straightabout asphalt. In this lively session, you will see how some stateassociations and NAPA Members have used the tools to defendand expand asphalt’s share of the pavement market. You willtake away:

≠ Knowledge of the APA’s products

≠ Ideas for implementing new sales and marketing strategies inyour market

≠ Ideas on how to use the APA’s tools to gain a competitive edge
