Understanding Caltrans Section 39 HMA Specifications
You asked and we listened. You want a simple yet affordable training opportunity for pavement engineers, technicians and others who need to know about the most influential asphalt specification in California, published by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). With that in mind, CalAPA is pleased to offer a 90-minute seminar on the most important information you need to know about Section 39 (Hot Mix Asphalt) of the Caltrans Standard Specifications. This class will be led by Brandon Milar, P.E., CalAPA's Director of Technical Services, an 
experienced materials engineer who has worked closely with Caltrans on various revisions of the specification over the past 20 years. A member of the executive committee of the Caltrans-industry Pavement & Materials Partnering Committee, Milar brings valuable perspective to this timely seminar. Fasten your seat belts! We’ll pack a lot of information into 90 minutes, and there will be some valuable handouts to take away for future reference. There also will be live polls and ample time for questions from class attendees. What you don't know can cost you!

The class will provide an overview of the Caltrans Standard Specifciaton for asphalt paving. This course covers the specifciation layout, the key materials and construction requirements for paving projects, and the most recent changes to these Standards. Milar will also provide insight into other Caltrans sources for additional information and guidance.
