Affordable, Safer, and Environmentally Friendly Pavement Preservation Practices

IRF is proud to invite you to the 2nd Annual Executive Seminar: “Preserving Our Highway Infrastructure Assets” in Orlando, Florida August 3-6, 2010. Last year’s seminar fielded experts from over 15 countries who discussed and shared their expertise on the latest and best Pavement Preservation Solutions and Road Asset Management Practices.

This year’s seminar features new technical and executive sessions while also featuring new case studies analyzing different country experiences and lessons learned. It will also take an in-depth look on key issues as the role of new materials, technologies for pavement preservation, new funding strategies and contracting models to sustain pavement preservation, and latest tools to better managing pavement networks. It will connect international transportation leaders with people at all levels of government and private industry to discuss challenges and cutting-edge solutions.

As part of a global effort to foster sound Road Asset Management & Pavement Preservation Practices, international lending organizations and donor agencies such as the World Bank currently provide loans and technical assistance to support the development and implementation of Pavement Preservations programs that will assist highway agencies and strengthen local commerce and industry.
