The Texas Pavement Preservation Center (TPPC) has published its Two Year Report, highlighting its efforts in promoting awareness of pavement preservation as a feasible and practical maintenance strategy. The report compiles eight newsletters published by the Texas Pavement Preservation Center from the year 2009 to 2011, and four project reports conducted by the Center for Transportation Research at the University of Texas-Austin, and the Texas Transportation Institute at Texas A&M University.
The newsletters include summaries and reports from various pavement preservation seminars and conferences
over the past two years. They include:
Issue 16, IRF Pavement Preservation Workshop, released in fall 2009. The topics covered by this newsletter include an interview with Gerald Peterson, Asphalt and Chemical Branch Manager of TxDOT’s Construction Division, about the recent asphalt technologies that have been implemented in Texas; environmentally friendly pavements; preservation of low volume roads using dense cold mixes; and warm asphalt mix technologies.
