NDLTAP
Boots on the Ground
Boots on the Ground, will be offered to small communities and counties to share information about pavement preservation with the operators and laborers that do the work. The on-site classes start in the classroom with a review of pavement preservation methods and best practices, then continue into the field with road/street assessments and repair plan developments. Sessions will be tailored to individual city needs. Some classes will include performing field repairs and testing new equipment. Tailored class and street inspections sessions are designed to help locals understand their equipment, materials, street assessments, repair options, and to provide hands-on assistance. The training is brought directly to small communities since crews are small, and equipment varies; so, repair plans can be tailored to specific problems. Subject matter experts from Swanston Equipment and ASTECH will supplement NDLTAP expertise. Courses to be held at various participating city shops.
