Solving the Paving Puzzle: Video Solutions Show How a Job Fits Together

What phase is most important on every paving job? Veteran paving expert John Ball says all phases are “most” important – and this new session will cover each one and show how they all need to fit together for an efficient, safe successful job. John spends much of every year (more than 30 weeks!) shooting video on paving jobsites to help contractors improve their paving operation – and he’ll put that video to heavy use creating a “case study” for this special paving session. John will take apart an entire paving job, then put it back together so you will learn not only all the elements of a successful paving job but how those elements come together. You’ll learn –and see – job planning (including determining tonnage, delivery pace and production speed), crew meetings, paving layout, paving, and rolling. Plus, video will reveal “best practices” for each element of the job. Whether you pave roads or parking lots, you’ll improve your paving operation by gaining a better understanding of how a paving job should come together from start to finish.
