Optimizing Hot Mix Asphalt Production workshop
You are losing money at your asphalt plants right now, but where? CalAPA is pleased to bring a nationally recognized expert on asphalt plant optimization to California for a special one-day workshop to help plant operators run plants for maximum efficiency and profitability. With so much changing in the industry, what you don't know is costing you!

The seminar highlights the proven practices used by successful producers to make consistent, high-quality mixes and achieve "bonus" results. Nationally noted expert T.J. Young will immerse attendees with focused content on best operating practices, or "pushing the buttons correctly." The information presented in the presentations is important to understand for making top quality mix in today's "en

All attendees will receive the "Best Practices in Hot Mix Production" binder complete with a Troubleshooting Guide and Best Practices Poster. Every production facility and quality lab should have this reference guide available for their personnel.
Who should attend? This course is designed for console operators, foremen, production managers, quality control personnel, and inspection personnel. Attendees with an understanding of how plants operate will maximize takeaways from this course.
