Accelerated Construction Technology Transfer Workshops

摘要

Accelerated Construction Technology Transfer (ACTT) focuses on achieving the highway construction objectives of "get in, get out, stay out"—that is, get the job done and done right. Sponsored by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials' Technology Implementation Group and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), ACTT incorporates innovative techniques, strategies, and technologies to minimize construction time and enhance quality and safety on large, complex, multiphase projects. For a specific highway project or corridor, ACTT starts with a 2-day workshop, assembling a multidisciplinary team of 20 to 30 national transportation experts to work with host agency counterparts and other local transportation professionals (see box, page 5). The team evaluates all aspects of the project in search of techniques, methods, and measures that would help the agency achieve such goals as reducing construction time, improving work zone and traffic safety, and enhancing quality.
