About the Program
Segmental concrete pavements are selected across Canada for their visual appeal, resulting from the endless combinations of colour, shapes and texture. However, with proper, design, construction and maintenance they can be more than just a pretty face. Segmental concrete pavement can function better than other pavement materials at a similar cost. Attend this one-day event to understand what is necessary to build a better pavement.
All presentations will be technical in nature and will cover:
- State of Practice using Segmental Pavements in the City of Edmonton.
- Design, Specification, Construction and Maintenance of Segmental Concrete Pavements, which includes Interlocking Concrete Pavers, Concrete Slabs, Concrete Planks and Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavements.
Who Should Attend:
Attendance is limited to staff of government agencies and design professionals (architects, engineers and landscape architects) providing services to publicly/government funded projects.
Connect with Local Producers:
Local producers will attend to answer questions about their products during breaks.
Coffee breaks and lunch will be provided.
