NRMCA Brings Pavement Design Class to Louisiana

Recently, NRMCA brought a pavement design class to Louisiana sponsored by The Concrete and Aggregates Association of Louisiana (CAAL). After a presentation by Vice President, National Resources, Amy Miller on concrete pavements at CAAL’s summer convention, a municipality in attendance asked if NRMCA could deliver a pavement design class in its region. Miller then combined forces with her colleagues Amanda Hult, director, pavement structures and Brian Killingsworth, vice president, pavement structures, on a general 4-hour pavement course that included material on Pavement Design Basics, Economic Analysis, Sustainability, Design Details, Overlays and Maintenance. Hult and Killingsworth presented remotely while Miller presented and facilitated the presentation live.

"This format worked out very well," Miller said. "We were able to cover a lot of key information in a 4-hour period and the attendees liked having multiple speakers. We held this presentation in two cities and had a lot of interest in both areas. "
