Pavement maintenance imposes significant commercial consequences, particularly for airports where alternative paths are limited. For a long time, the requirement of a lengthy curing period partially impeded the benefits of concrete pavements. The speakers below will capture various insightful topics during their presentations.
SPEAKERS:
Kevin Abrams, Executive Director-ASCP—Welcome and ASCP Announcements & Forum Windup
Nouas Al Mandowi, Technical Engineer-Antoun—“How to Replace Airport Pavement in Under 6 Hours”: Nouas will provide an overview of the technology and processes involved in replacing concrete pavement without disruption to airport traffic.
Jamie Egan, National Pavement Engineer, Engineering & Design-Lendlease Engineering—“Through Rose Coloured Glasses-Recycled Glass in Concrete Pavement”: On the Pacific Highway Upgrade between Woolgoolga and Ballina, recycled crushed glass was successfully used in about 2,000cum of the pavement concrete. A 94-page report has been released and Jamie Egan will provide an entertaining insight into the project.
Craig Heidrich, Managing Director-HBM Group—“SmartCreteCRC – $90 Million Over the Next Seven Years”: Concrete is the second most used material in the world after water. Craig Heidrich will outline the seven- year research journey of the SmartCrete Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) to secure the long-term viability of vital concrete infrastructure in Australia, while leveraging concrete sector efforts to meet global sustainability (carbon reduction) targets.
John Hodgkinson, Honorary Member ASCP—“ConcreteHighway Pavements. German Autobahns and USA Interstates. Links with AustralianPractice since 1980”: The two greatest national highway projects of the 20th century were the German Autobahns of the 1930s and, subsequently, the USA Interstate System that commenced in the 1950s. John will present an overview of them. Distinct links can be drawn between them and Australian practice since 1980.
