This year the Southeast Pavement Preservation Partnership had a successful meeting in Oklahoma City May 4-6.
A wide range of presentations from various agency personnel, researchers, consultants, and contractors on pavement preservation was enjoyed by delegates. A presentation on Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) initiatives was provided in the opening session.
Also described was the involvement of the University Transportation Centers in Oklahoma on pavement preservation research. Various experimental test sections were described, along with the variables considered and
the objectives.
On the next day, there was a field visit to these experimental test sites. Members from the Pavement Preservation Expert Task Group participated in two round table discussions on asphalt emulsion and concrete preservation, where current trends in these areas were discussed.
