TXDOT/CCT CONCRETE CONFERENCE A ROCK-SOLID VALUE

1/31/2018

53 Comments

Why should you attend the 2018 TxDOT/CCT Concrete Conference?  Well, there are several reasons.  Most notably, the two-day technical program (April 10-11, 2018, JJ Pickle Research Campus at UT-Austin) packs critical new information, networking opportunities, and hands-on learning into a highly efficient format (12.5 PDHs).  And registration costs are kept low through our many members, sponsors and exhibitors.

The General Sessions will feature FHWA and TxDOT administrators providing perspectives on agency plans and priorities.  Additionally, distinguished technical lecturers will serve as a capstone to the entire conference.

Technical breakout sessions will focus on the latest developments in three key areas:  Highways, bridges and local streets and pavements.  Among other topics, you'll learn: 
  • How the Houston District has incorporated the ultra-quiet and smooth Next Generation Concrete Surface into several major highways.
  • How to lower bridge maintenance by eliminating joints and minimizing cracks in bridge decks.
  • How Illinois Tollway's continuously-reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) innovations might help TxDOT build better pavements.
  • For local streets, parking and industrial pavements, how you can use the industry's new online design tool--pavementdesigner.org--to optimize your concrete pavements. 
  • How cities and counties are getting the best value from jointed pavement, CRCP, and roller-compacted concrete.​
And when you need a break from the presentations, other learning and networking activities abound:
  • The added "Outdoor Equipment Showcase" where you can see first-hand FHWA's Concrete Lab Mobile Trailer; TxDOT's Total  Pavement Acceptance Device (TPAD) and 3-D ground penetrating radar;  and large state-of-the-art vendor equipment.
  • Manufacturers, suppliers and consultants are often industry's product and service innovators; we've increased exhibition space by 50% for more opportunities to learn about industry's latest technology.
  • The new "Exhibitor Spotlight" will highlight vendor innovations with presentations in the Tower Room during breaks.
  • Included meals, refreshments, and an opening day reception provide time to network with colleagues, sponsors, industry, and the featured presenters.

You can even extend your learning and networking by attending the added Engineering Ethics presentation (required annually for all Texas PEs) on Monday, April 9th, as a prelude to the Concrete Conference Golf Tournament later that morning.  The Ethics presentation is open to all attendees, whether or not joining in the tournament.

The registration fees for the conference make this an especially good value.  CCT's cement company members, conference sponsors and exhibitors help keep these costs low (by March 23rd):
  • $175 for TxDOT, other public agencies, or academia
  • $300 for all others
  • $75 Concrete Conference Golf Tournament (April 9, 2018 at nearby Balcones Country Club)

Who should attend?  If you are a stakeholder in the critical construction and renewal of Texas' transportation infrastructure, the TxDOT/CCT Concrete Conference is for you:
  • TxDOT engineering and construction personnel, from District Engineers and administrators to recent graduates.
  • Local road agency and regional mobility authority personnel who must build and maintain road networks.
  • Contractors who want to incorporate efficient new innovations and be aware of emerging technologies.
  • Consultants servicing TxDOT and local agencies, who need to update their expertise on concrete pavements and structures, so that they can offer their clients optimum state-of-the-art service.
  • Professors and students who want to expand learning opportunities beyond the textbooks.
  • Manufacturers and suppliers who want to speak with key decisionmakers in TxDOT, local agencies and industry.

    PURPOSE

    The Cementx Pavement Blog seeks to make pavement owners, engineers and contractors smarter about selecting, designing, constructing and maintaining pavements. New blog postings began February 1, 2017; however, we carried over pavement-related blog postings from our older blog, the "Texas Cement and Concrete Blog," which ran until December 2016.
