AsphaltMix Design2 DAYSPRESENTER David JonesAsphalt paving mix design requiresa clear understanding of designstandards and specificationrequirements. Design also demandsclose attention to the details oftesting procedures to ensure aneconomical blend and gradation ofaggregates. Durable asphalt mixesmust provide for stability, sufficientvoids and workability to permitefficient construction.This course includes the latest designmethods from America and Australia.The methods will include AustroadsSelection and Design of Asphalt Mixesand SHRP Superpave Mix Design. Ithas also been updated to include thedraft specification for dense graded,stone mastic and fine graded asphaltpaving mixtures NZTA M/10. This willassist engineers and supervisors intheir understanding of the designprocess and specifications.Topics Include» Objectives of design mix» Desirable mix properties» Design of non-structural mixes» Designing a mix/practicalconsiderations» Mix design and procedures» Performance based specifications» Quality assurance» Production testing and interpretationof test results» Overview of asphalt manufactureand construction techniquesFor more information please contactJan Kivell. jan@nziht.co.nz or phone06 759 7065 ext 708.DATESaucklandChristchurch15-16 July26-27 AugustBITUMEN PLANT ANDTANKER OPERATOR1 DAYPRESENTERS Barry GundersenThe operation of bitumen tankers,sprayers and bitumen storage andblending plants demands a soundknowledge of the properties ofbitumen and associated products andadherence to strict safety procedures.Production is improved if operators havethe appropriate advanced knowledge andskill to accurately and safely use plantand equipment. Quality is maintained bybitumen product knowledge, adherenceto handling procedures, accurate blendcalculation and careful record keeping.This course is designed as a “follow-on”from the awareness-level Bitumen —Basic Safety Course specifically for“hands-on” operators.PRE-REQUISITE FOR ATTENDANCE» Participants must have completedthe Bitumen — Basic Safety course(within the last five years) prior toattending these courses» Participants must have completed theBitumen Plant and Tanker OperatorBITUMEN SPRAYER OPERATOR1 DAYPRESENTER Barry GundersenPrecise and competent operation ofthe bitumen sprayer is essential tosuccessful chipsealing operations.PRE-REQUISITE FOR ATTENDANCE» Participants must have completedthe Bitumen — Basic Safety course(within the last five years) prior toattending these courses» Participants must have completed theBitumen Plant and Tanker Operatorcourse prior to attending the BitumenSprayer Operator courseTOPICS INCLUDE» Bitumen products for chipsealing» Chipseal types and basic designprinciples» Storage, blending and transportation» Sampling and documentation» Sprayer types, pumps and operatingsystems» Troubleshooting» Spray charts» Correct spraybar set-up» Hand-sprayingcourse prior to attending the BitumenSprayer Operator courseSOME TOPICS INCLUDE» Bitumen, additives, polymers, emulsions» Safe operation of fixed plant» Roading NZ Code of Safe Practice» Loading, bending, heating andtransferring» Transfer hose safety and compliance» Plant maintenance» Dangerous goods classification andlabellingFor more detailed information pleasecontact Jan Kivell. jan@nziht.co.nz orphone 06 759 7065 ext 708.DATESAUCKLAND5 SeptemberPALMERSTON NORTH 16 SeptemberCHRISTCHURCH26 September» Sprayer maintenance» Operational safety» RNZ E/2 industry certification of sprayers» Field measurement and control» Calculation of hot spray rates forcutbacks and emulsions» Spraying Hot PMB’s» Bitumen sprayer record keepingWHO SHOULD ATTEND?Persons with limited knowledge of sprayeroperation.
