Training
I have a number of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) presentations which have been developed to provide engineers and other scheme designers with an increased knowledge and awareness of asphalt and its uses.
I would also be happy to discuss preparing bespoke presentations or providing your presentations to your clients on your behalf.
In addition to covering the basics of each topic the presentations highlight risk areas and detail considerations that are often forgotten. The CPD presentations are suitable to be given to both large and small audiences, although groups of less than ten usually result in better interaction and a more beneficial learning environment. Although the presentations are designed to last approximately one hour, if a good dialogue develops they can take longer.
When a CPD has been booked I will spend some time familiarising myself with the activities of the audience so that I adapt the presentation to suit their needs, if possible I like to speak to a manager to confirm what they hope to achieve from the CPD. A copy of the presentation and a Continuing Professional Development Certificate of Attendance will be provided to each delegate. I recognise that CPDs, often provided at lunchtime, are commonly funded by the presenter, but it should be noted that these are often used as sales tool and actually only cover the products or system provided by the presenter’s company. Being completely independent I am able to provide an unbiased and more widely ranging subject matter.
Introduction to Asphalt
This CPD seminar will provide an introduction to the different types of asphalt available in the UK today. It will cover the different constituents used in its manufacture, its different types and their characteristics and as well as providing some insight into which applications each asphalt type is most suited to.
It will endeavour to leave the listener with a basic understanding of asphalt and help them to select a suitable material for any given application.
Key topics include: The constituents of asphalt and the role they play; the different types of asphalt and their key characteristics; the asphalt pavement and the desirable properties for each layer and a brief overview of relevant specification documents.

This CPD seminar will provide an insight into the development of the structural design of asphalt pavements in the UK. It will cover the key elements of asphalt pavement design, explaining their purpose and how they are incorporated within the process.
At the end of the presentation the participants will have a clearer and improved understanding of the design process and how they can incorporate the requirements within their own projects.
Key topics include: An insight into historical road construction; the development of asphalt pavement design in the UK; required/desired properties for each asphalt layer within the construction; a description of relevant terminology and a step by step guide through the design process.
