Airport Training Programs

APTech has developed and conducted targeted training programs specifically for airport personnel.

For example, a 2-day seminar on airfield pavement maintenance and rehabilitation was designed for airport representatives, consultants, and Federal Aviation Administration officials to improve the participants' understanding of proper airfield pavement maintenance and rehabilitation techniques.

APTech also teaches a 1-day seminar on portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement rehabilitation that specifically benefits airport inspectors, managers and field crews. This course targets participants with a broad range of backgrounds and capabilities, and includes specialized sessions on different repair techniques.

APTech's interactive Airfield Pavement Condition Index (PCI) training course provides guidance on the conduct of this survey procedure developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The course materials include an introduction to PCI, network definition, sampling rates and pavement distress identification in an easy-to-use format, all on one self-contained interactive CD-ROM. The program features high quality color photographs of concrete and asphalt distress types, comprehensive coverage of PCI survey techniques, visual comparisons of distress types and severities, and an explanation of how to determine sampling rates.

APTech also routinely conducts classes on the MicroPAVER software program, the use of multi-year prioritization in pavement management, preventive maintenance techniques, and pavement rehabilitation design.
