About this Event
Recertification ALT Course - Instruction days: Classroom 10/12 (1.0 day), Lab: 10/13 (0.5 day AM) Exam: 10/13 (0.5 day PM)
Program Content
This course consists of interactive lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on training of fundamental aggregate and asphalt mixture tests used during asphalt mixture production. The course will be split between classroom lectures and hands-on work using the testing equipment in the laboratory. The course will provide engineers, technicians and testing personnel with an understanding of the sampling and testing requirements associated with airfield asphalt mixture production and construction. Approximately 1 day will be spent in the classroom and 1 day will be spent in the laboratory. A brief outline of the course follows.
