density testingWAPA offers its Black Bag Lunch & Learn sessions free to its members and public organizations (it’s available to nonmembers for a fee). We provide the latest information and applications for HMA, tailoring presentations to meet your needs. If you want a session exclusively on Superpave, we can do that. If you would prefer for us to touch on a variety of topics, we can do that as well.

Sessions typically last an hour, depending on the presentations requested. Sessions can take place at any time of day—whatever is convenient for you, your colleagues and clients. Just review the list of presentations below, select which presentations you would like to have and call WAPA at 603-255-3114 to schedule. It is as easy as that.

At a time of tight budgets and limited financial resources, you want to deliver a quality product to your clients in the most cost-effective way. These sessions are designed to provide you with the latest information and technological advancements in HMA. The Black Bag Lunch & Learn program will give you the tools to deliver your project on time and on (or under) budget.

If you are interested in an individual session, or if you would be willing to have other companies and public organizations also attend your session, call WAPA at 608-255-3114.
