Neat & Modified PG Binders

The Asphalt Pavement Association of West Virginia is offering an asphalt mix design course which will cover both Marshall and Superpave Mix Design methods.  These courses are centered around the WVDOH specifications and materials procedures and AASHTO/ASTM methods.  Students will gain a working knowledge of the principles associated with asphalt concrete volumetric mix design for each design method and will be prepared to sit for their WVDOH Asphalt Mix Design Certification examination.

Courses have been scheduled for February 2-6, 2026, and March 16-20, 2026.  Each class will begin on the respective Monday at 8:00 A.M. and run through Friday at 10:30 A.M.  Following the final Friday sessions, students will take their certification examination (10:30 A.M. – Noon).

Both courses will be held at the WVDOH Materials Control, Soils, and Testing Division office (190 Dry Branch Drive. Charleston, WV).

Course fees for an APAWV member, governmental employees and students are $700 per person.  Course fees for a non-APAWV member are $1,000.  For more information or to register for the courses please visit the corresponding registration pages below.

Please note that space is limited, and registration will be handled on a first come first serve basis, if interest is large enough to warrant an additional class, one may be scheduled at a future date.

WofA Spotlight – Olivia Rees

By JCrane | 2024/10/11

Olivia fell into the asphalt industry while still in college, and got a summer internship working in a quality control lab. She says, “I loved this job so much I immediately joined the Shelly Company full time after I graduated in 2019. During my time there I worked in construction scheduling and mainly estimating. I was fortunate to work with many crews and be exposed to many parts of the company that gave me appreciation for the industry as a whole.”
