Conference aims and topics

The Department of Civil Engineering at Liverpool John Moores University, in association with The Road Surface Treatments Association (RSTA) and Colas Ltd, UK, will host its 18th annual international conference in February 2019.

The conference will focus on pavement engineering, asphalt technology and infrastructure; and is a continuation of the successful annual events hosted by LJMU since 2001. These annual conferences have attracted large numbers of speakers from industry and academia in the past and delegates and exhibitors from the UK, Europe, Middle East, USA, South America, Australia and the Far East have all taken part.

The conference will benefit those stakeholders with specific interest in:

• the development, construction and management of asphalt technology;
• sustainable infrastructure, environmental protection, materials technology, pavement and infrastructure structural design and evaluations;
• IT in pavement, asphalt and infrastructure; and
• energy reduction, aggregate recycling initiatives, airport and highways design and maintenance

The conference will be of interest to:

• policy advisors;
• environmental regulators;
• infrastructure clients;
• specifiers, planners and designers;
• research centres, academia, local authorities;
• highway-related consultants and designers; and
• materials suppliers, construction companies, contractors and educational institutions.

The conference will pay particular attention to:

• pavement design, aggregate and asphalt materials;
• improvements in paving technology;
• secondary cementitious materials, data collection and pavement inventory management; and
• highway asset management, recycling initiatives, road maintenance and infrastructures

Papers are invited on topics mentioned above and those addressing the themes of the conference, innovation and the application of new materials and/or techniques are welcomed. Contributions are especially welcomed from clients, specifiers, regulators, local authorities, consultants, contractors, materials suppliers, research and educational organisations/institutions.

The conference will provide a unique setting within which to share and explore new ideas and to review innovations in the practical application of sustainable construction materials and techniques in pavement engineering and highways maintenance.

The conference is held in Liverpool

LIVERPOOL, underwent a renaissance in 2008 when it was crowned the European capital of culture.  New boutique hotels sprang up and stylish bars opened and a fabulous £1billion shopping centre Liverpool ONE was built.  Delegates coming to Liverpool find a city that is cosmopolitan and exciting. Since 2004 it has been an UNESCO World Heritage site, an accolade awarded for its historic Waterfront area around the Albert Dock and the City’s magnificent Cultural Quarter and it is officially the “World Capital of Pop”.  Merseyside’s musical traditions are as famous as it maritime ones from the dank cellar of the Cavern, bands established themselves only to spread around the world, bands such as Gerry and the Pacemakers and The Searchers to name two, but one in particular stands out, The Beatles played their debut in 1961 and appeared another 272 times at The Cavern. 

From the Liver Building to St John's Beacon, Liverpool's landmarks add drama and distinction to the city. The "Three Graces" - the Liver Building, Cunard Building and Port of Liverpool Building form one of the most instantly recognisable and breath-taking examples of waterfront architecture in the world. 

The City has a mighty sporting heritage with two extremely competitive Premier League football clubs. Our World Class cultural offerings include Tate Liverpool and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and a new addition is the state of the art Museum of Liverpool which opened in spring 2011 and has focused on Liverpool’s worldwide influence on world history and culture.
