Annual Bituminous Construction Workshops for 2008
This year the Bituminous Construction Workshops are being conducted
and scheduled in conjunction with LTAP. Unlike previous years where the
workshops were given in each Construction District, we are scheduling
only four workshops which will be located around the state. This
training will most benefit Project Construction Inspection Personnel,
but all GDOT, Consultant, Local Government, and Contractor personnel are
invited to attend. The Bituminous Construction Branch will invite the
Hot Mix Contractors while the decision to which GDOT personnel should
attend is left to your discretion and invitation. This training will be
considered as training credit hours (6) for GA Dept of Transportation’s
Quality Control Technician Certification Program.

- Tuesday March 4, 2008 — C.E. Weir Center
