NHI WEB-BASED TRAINING
For a limited time, the National Highway Institute (NHI) is offering a
free, five-part distance learning program, “Constructing Quality PCC Pavement Preservation Treatments.” The comprehensive program was developed under the auspices of the NHI through a cooperative agreement between the FHWA and the CP Tech Center. Click

ACPA/National and IGGA were instrumental in providing content for the courses, and we invested significant time and resources, providing information, images, and other support for the project. The online courses include the following topics:
- How to Construct Durable Full-Depth Repairs in Concrete Pavements (FHWA-NHI-134207A)
- How to Construct Durable Partial-Depth Repairs in Concrete Pavements (FHWA-NHI-134207B)
- Proper Diamond Grinding Techniques for Pavement Preservation (FHWA-NHI-134207C)
- Proper Construction Techniques for Dowel Bar Retrofit (DBR) and Cross-Stitching (FHWA-NHI-134207D)
- Proper Joint Sealing Techniques for Pavement Preservation (FHWA-NHI-134207E)
The program provides a total of 13.5 hours of online learning of pavement preservation methods and technologies. Courses are also available in English and Spanish.
FHWA CONCRETE CLIPS
The FHWA is offering 16 instructional videos in its “Concrete Clips” series. These videos cover a wide range of topics, including cement manufacturing, durability, workability, curing, testing, smoothness, materials tutorials, and more. The vides range in length between about 4 to 14 minutes. Check these out at the
Concrete Clip Channel.
JUST-IN-TIME TRAINING (JIT2)
Both the Department and the Turnpike are including in major concrete paving projects a requirement that a four to six hour JIT2 session be conducted prior to placement of the first square yard of concrete pavement. If you would like for ACPA/PA to provide this training for your contract, please contact the Chapter at
