UPCOMING WEBINARS
Guidelines for Use of Asphalt Overlays to Rehabilitate PCC Pavements - Part 2
April 30, 2:00-3:30 PM EASTERN TIME
In Part 1 of this webinar series, participants explored opportunities for rehabilitating failed PCC pavements with asphalt overlays. In Part 2, two state agencies present case studies where they applied techniques such as break and seat, crack and seat, and rubblization to rehabilitate failed concrete pavements.
Register and attend live to be eligible for PDH credits.
OUTCOMES
- Understand the process New Jersey DOT applied to rehabilitate I-295
- Explore how using these techniques allowed PennDOT to build a thinner pavement structure on SR-28
SPEAKERS
- Robert Blight, Executive Manager, Pavement & Drainage Management & Technology Bureau, New Jersey DOT
- Lydia Peddicord, Chief, Pavement Design and Analysis Unit, Pennsylvania DOT
- Richard Willis, Vice President, Engineering, Research, & Technology, NAPA
The Carbon Footprint of an Asphalt Pavement
MAY 1, 2:00-3:30 PM EASTERN TIME
Conversations on Decarbonization, a series for industry and agencies, part 1 of 2
In 2022, NAPA quantified the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of the U.S. asphalt mix production industry from raw material manufacturing material to asphalt mix production. In this webinar, we explore the sources of GHG emissions throughout the entire life of an asphalt pavement, from cradle to grave. Along the way, we provide an overview of GHG emissions quantification methodologies and common terminology.
Register and attend live to be eligible for PDH credits.
OUTCOMES
- Explain which mix design components have the greatest impact on the carbon footprint of an asphalt mixture
- Understand how construction, including quality, impacts the overall environmental impacts of asphalt pavements
- Discover how activities during the use phase and end of life can affect a pavement’s carbon footprint
SPEAKERS
- Richard Willis, Vice President, Engineering, Research, & Technology, NAPA
- Joseph Shacat, Director, Sustainable Pavements, NAPA
US Asphalt Industry EPD Benchmark
MAY 21, 1:00-2:30 PM EASTERN TIME
Join us for an insightful webinar that dives into the specifics of SIP 108, NAPA’s EPD Benchmark for Asphalt Mixtures. This session will explain the innovative methodological framework used to develop industry average global warming potential (GWP) reference values for asphalt mixture environmental product declarations (EPDs). The method can be used by agencies to develop GWP benchmarks for FHWA’s Low Carbon Transportation Materials Grants and other low embodied carbon procurement and project delivery programs. This session will include a focused case study that illustrates how to develop state-specific industry average GWP reference values.
This webinar is ideal for state and local DOT officials, asphalt mix producers, consultants, and anyone interested in understanding EPD benchmarks for asphalt mixtures. Register now to enhance your knowledge and leverage EPD benchmarks to drive reductions in the embodied carbon of asphalt mixtures.
Register and attend live to be eligible for PDH credits.
OUTCOMES
- Gain insight into the methodological approach behind the EPD Benchmark report, including how data is collected, analyzed, and utilized in creating industry averages.
- Explore a practical application through a case study of Oklahoma DOT with data from Oklahoma, detailing how agency-specific industry average GWP thresholds are developed.
- Discuss how the findings from the EPD Benchmark report can shape future asphalt paving projects.
SPEAKERS
- Deb Mishra, PhD, PE, Associate Professor, Oklahoma State University
- Amlan Mukherjee, PhD, PE, Sustainability Director, WAP Sustainability
- Joseph Shacat, Director, Sustainable Pavements, NAPA
Asphalt Pavement Opportunities
MAY 23, 2:00-3:30 PM EASTERN TIME
Conversations on Decarbonization, a series for industry and agencies, part 2 of 2
In part 1 of this series, NAPA explored the carbon footprint of an asphalt pavement over its entire life cycle. Knowing the most carbon intensive portions of an asphalt pavement’s life cycle allows engineers to determine the most critical and effective solutions for decarbonization. In part 2, we present opportunities for industry and agencies alike to reduce greenhouse gas emissions throughout the entire life cycle of asphalt pavements.
OUTCOMES
- Identify and implement the most effective decarbonization strategies available to industry today
- Explain opportunities available for owners to further reduce carbon emissions associated with asphalt pavements
- Understand how to leverage tools like the Supply Curve to prioritize decarbonization efforts
