MAINTENANCE AND REHABILITATION OF PARKING AREAS (WEBINAR)
Wednesday, February 3, 2021 |
Parking lot pavements are constructed to provide a safe and durable riding surface for the travelling public. Some may be constructed using a flexible pavement (asphalt); others rigid pavement (concrete). Which types are appropriate for each application? What are the functional requirements for rigid vs. flexible pavement? How can each be constructed and maintained in a cost-effective manner? Pavement construction is very expensive and once the pavement is built, what is important to ensure that we are getting our money’s worth. How do I determine when I need to “fix” something? What is involved? What are the costs?
This webinar begins with a series of common failures of commercial parking area pavements. The mechanism of the failures is discussed along with design principals and construction techniques to prevent these failures. The course then steps through pavement design, specification, construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation techniques to improve the performance of the pavements.
Webinar Benefits
- Understand key components and factors necessary for the cost-effective design of pavements.
- Assist in developing specifications to ensure the performance of pavements.
- What is important for tender documents/specifications?
- Knowing what is important to look for during construction to ensure the longevity of the parking area pavements.
