JORDAN SCHOOL DISTRICT CIVIL CONSTRUCTION COURSE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT In the new Civil Construction course in Jordan School District, high school students will explore the dynamic and rapidly growing field of civil construction. In this course, students will not only learn foundational concepts but also participate in design projects, interact with industry professionals, and gain valuable skills directly applicable to a variety of civil construction careers. Topics covered in the course include construction basics, safety, math and measurements, earthwork, drainage, utilities, concrete, asphalt and more. UAPA/UDOT ASPHALT INSPECTION CERTIFICATION CLASS UDOT is committed to fostering collaboration and professional development within our industry through strategic partnerships. The UAPA HMA inspection course is a key component of the department’s new Construction Training Program (CTP) initiative. Completion of this course will be a mandatory requirement for all UDOT and consultant inspectors. By implementing this requirement, we anticipate a significant enhancement in knowledge and consistency across all asphalt paving and construction inspection processes. Taught by UAPA and UDOT representatives at the UDOT Central Office, this class will increase your knowledge related to the design, production and inspection of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) pavements. The need to understand the differences between a structural-focused mix and a durable-focused mix is necessary to be able to select the proper mix for the application, but even more paramount is the need to be able to verify that the desired mix has been properly produced and placed in the field. COURSE BENEFITS • Gain a general understanding of the basics of asphalt mixes and how the mix components affect performance. • Gain an in-depth understanding of the construction and inspection of HMA pavements, including the national and local standards used to evaluate the performance of such pavements. • Understand HMA pavement specifications and correct applications. • Identify deficiencies that may occur from time to time in HMA pavement construction and suggest remedies to address such concerns. • Incorporate recommended best practices prior to, during and post construction. WHO SHOULD ATTEND • City and county engineers, inspectors or other public works officials • Consultant engineers, owners and inspectors responsible for asphalt specifications, recommendations, inspection or project management on behalf of public or private entities • Professionals working in or around HMA pavement construction for their companies • Pavement design engineers who are responsible for connecting structural and environmental pavement designs with the materials to be used in construction Classes are held regularly.
