National Concrete Pavement Technology Center

About the research

The overall goal of this project is to provide a variety of expert technical support services and technology transfer activities to the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA’s) Construction Management Team (CMT). The project includes assisting the CMT in its efforts to advance the industry-wide adoption of innovations that accelerate the delivery of pavement and bridge construction projects by providing appropriate information and training to state and local highway agencies, consultants, materials suppliers, research/academic institutions, and other stakeholders through workshops, conferences, equipment demonstrations, presentations, technical publications, and web-based training.

This project supports several task orders. They include the following:

• Technical Support Service Centers for 3D Engineered Models in Construction and Slide in Bridge Construction Activities
• Training and Marketing in Support of Every Day Counts Initiatives and Other Program Initiatives
• Virtual Workshop Support
• Development of Web Based Training (WBT) on Constructing PCC Pavement Preservation Treatments
• Support of Every Day Counts Four (EDC-4) Initiative: Development and Facilitation of Peer-to-Peer Exchanges for Pavement Preservation How and Update and Modernize the Pavement Preservation Checklist Series
• Technical Assistance for Advanced Survey and Modeling Technologies and Practices
• Reassess and Update the FHWA Pavement Preservation Research Roadmap
• FHWA Unmanned Aerial System Tech Brief Development and Every Day Counts Round 5 Support
• Advancing the Development and Deployment of BIM-Infrastructure
