The American Concrete Pavement Association (ACPA) is urging members and airport owners’ representatives to register soon for ACPA’s 3-Day Airport Pavement Design & Construction Workshop to be held at the Embassy Suites Hilton in Fort Lauderdale, Florida from October 22 through 24, 2019. Because of the high demand, ACPA seats and hotel rooms are going quickly! A discounted single rate is available for workshop participants—available until September 30 (or until sold out)! For room reservation information, please call 1-855-271-3617 and use group code “AWS”, or go online to make a reservation: https://embassysuites.hilton.com/en/es/groups/personalized/F/FLLSOES-AWS-20191018/index.jhtml
The workshop is intended for owners’ representatives/engineers, contractor personnel, and others with an interest in concrete pavement design, construction, and rehabilitation for airport applications. One of the popular highlights of the workshop is straightforward, often spirited discussions about concrete pavement specifications for airports, notably the FAA‘s P-501 spec and the UFGS 32 13 14.13 spec used for US Army Corps of Engineers and other Tri-Services projects. Seats are going quickly, so don’t miss the opportunity to participate in this popular training and tech transfer event!
