This workshop will help attendees develop a better understanding of the importance of materials, techniques, and equipment needed for maintaining and repairing good gravel roads. It will provide technical details for best practices including the use of fabrics for the repair of water saturated roadbeds. The workshop will show the benefits to be gained from good maintenance practices, provide resources for gravel road maintenance and enhance the skills of gravel road maintenance personnel. This course is appropriate for state, county, or city personnel, technical staff, and maintenance forces responsible for maintenance of gravel shoulders or gravel roads. Private contractors employed to perform haul road maintenance on gravel roads are also encouraged to attend.
