Understanding & Interpreting KDOT Specifications

As specifications change with the evolving aggregate and concrete industries, it is important for your organization to stay up to date. Hosted by the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT), Kansas Aggregate Producers’ Association and Kansas Ready Mixed Concrete Association (KAPA-KRMCA), we hope that these seminars will assist producers as well as KDOT personnel in understanding and interpreting the specifications to its intended intent and purpose. 5 Professional Development Hours are available for attending the Seminar.
