The California Pavement Preservation Conference

In 2010, the California Pavement Preservation Conference will take a year off, and the 1st Annual International Conference on Pavement Preservation will be held in its place. The conference will be held April 13—15 in Newport Beach, and it will bring together researchers and experts working in pavement preservation worldwide to exchange ideas and discuss critical issues.

About the California Pavement Preservation Conference

A well-executed, systematic pavement preservation program, utilizing timely, appropriate and successive preservation treatments, will have the cumulative effect of postponing costly rehabilitation, preventing the need for reconstruction, and improving overall pavement condition system-wide. The California Pavement Preservation Conference will demonstrate the benefits of such a program, stress the importance of using a Pavement Management System for inventory, capture of work history, deterioration modeling, needs assessment, and budgetary planning, and introduce the full-spectrum of pavement preservation strategies for both flexible and rigid pavements.

Content is geared toward city and county public works directors, road supervisors, pavement designers and engineers, and roadway maintenance chiefs.

The conference typically draws 350 attendees from local, regional, state and federal agencies, industry and academia and nearly 30 exhibitors representing associations and industry.

Presented by the California Pavement Preservation Task Group, this conference is made possible through the cooperative efforts of the California Local Technical Assistance Program, the California Pavement Preservation Center, and the California Department of Transportation.
