The Northwest Chapter of the American Society of Professional Engineers recently held its Day of Training in Fayetteville, AR, for engineers from a variety of backgrounds. NRMCA’s local paving engineer Amanda Hult presented on Concrete’s Contribution to Sustainable Construction and Concrete Overlays: Another Way to Pave. She presented the attendees with basic design information on concrete overlays and provided several of the engineers with the Guide to Concrete Overlays of Asphalt Parking Lots to take with them.

 

"This is a great option that never ever crossed my mind," one engineer related to Hult "I have a project that would be a perfect candidate. May I contact you for assistance?"

 

Hult closed the presentation with information on NRMCA’s Design Assistance Program. The engineers were challenged to provide a concrete section on their future projects to encourage competition.
