12CALIFORNIA PAVEMENT PRESERVATION CENTER CP2
CENTER
- Caltrans established the California Pavement
Preservation Center at CSU, Chico on July 1,
2006 - Purpose is accommodating the needs for pavement
preservation services to governmental agencies
and the industry sector
http//www.cp2info.org/center
13MISSION STATEMENT OF CP2 CENTER
- To serve as a leader in a partnered effort
between government, industry and academia
participants to advance and improve pavement
preservation practices through education,
innovation, applied and practical research,
technology transfer, and implementation.
14CP2 CENTER OBJECTIVES
- Serve as a technical resource for pavement
preservation activities within the state of
California. - Educate others about the benefits of pavement
preservation in partnership with the Caltrans and
industry. This would involve educational programs
at the university as well as distant learning
opportunities. - Enhance pavement preservation knowledge through
research and training. - Advise and assist others to establish a pavement
preservation program.
15CIWMB PROJECT OBJECTIVES
- Assist in the creation and expansion of
sustainable markets of RAC and CE applications of
waste tires through education
- Teach civil engineering professionals and
students to use RAC and apply waste tire in other
Civil Engineering projects
16PROJECT SCOPE
- Continuing education of engineers and technicians
in using waste tires in RAC and other CE
applications through developing and delivering
short courses.
- Curricular development of using RAC and other CE
applications of waste tires for California
Universities and Community Colleges that offer CE
curricula
