AAPA is looking at developing a course on auditing of spray seal contracts to assist in the training of auditors and surveillance officers.
The aim of the course will be to provide guidance for those involved in the supervision and surveillance of sprayed sealing works including practical advice on the critical aspects of the construction process (e.g. quality requirements for materials, aspects of field practices related performance ) that should be considered.
In order to gauge the demand for the course IPWEAvic members are invited to vote in the following two question poll Click here
Should there be sufficient demand AAPA will set up a “Project reference group” and commence the development of the course.
