| Testimonials from attendees “To sum it all up in numbers, in 2005, we lost around $250,000 in deducts for Voids, VMA, and Compaction. To date in 2006, using the Bailey Method, we are up $300,000 in incentives. To make this an even greater accomplishment, we achieved this incentive on half the jobs we had last year with incentive. What makes it even more incredible is the fact that there were two incidents that if the super would have called me sooner, I could have fixed the problem and kept from losing $55,000 in deducts.” - QA Manager for a large regional Contractor after attending the full 3-Day Course at Asphalt Institute Headquarters “My bosses will see this class pay for itself the first week of the paving season.” “I've learned more about adjusting VMA in this course than I have learned in the last 28 years.” “Been doing mix designs for 15 yrs and this class confirmed 95% of what I believed to be true and set me straight on the other 5%.” This 3-day course is designed for individuals that want to learn not only the basics of the Bailey Method, but also the full potential of the principles to improve volumetric controls, aid in field compactability, and gauge mix segregation potential. This full course is an intensive look into the Bailey Method and how its principles can be used to control HMA mixes to optimize volumetrics (such as VMA) and field compactability. This course is designed for individuals with mix design and quality control experience, and begins with the basics and then builds on these principles to help the students understand the complete potential of the method. Attendance in the 1-day introductory course is not mandatory, but encouraged. Participants will receive a course manual and CD containing all the reference material including the full version of the latest edition of the Bailey Method analysis software. Hands-on software training is included, so bringing a laptop computer for each student to use during the class is highly encouraged. Your computer should be preloaded with a fully operational copy of Microsoft Excel 2003® or newer and Adobe Reader®.
