Invitation | 2019 Highway Asphalt Mixture Testing Technical CONTROLS Conference (Announcement)
Posted Date：2019-02-25
In recent years, with the rapid change in engineering and electronic technology, highway asphalt mixture testing has also come to a new era. With the pre-existing traditional methods, we now shift to a calculated control highly dynamic mechanical testing criteria. The structure and material of the design method of asphalt surface has shifted from the simple marcus design to a more powerful experienced experimental design. The newer design takes in account the weather conditions, daily traffic, overload, and structural strength etc. datas. The traffic transportation department 2017 launched the new JTG D50 standard, indicating our country and international standards are now in sync.
As the worlds biggest manufacturer leader in highway materials testing CONTROLS company and China's main civil engineering testing instruments trading company Earth Products China Ltd collaborates together for the upcoming highway asphalt mixture testing conference. We are honored to be able to invite China's famous highway engineering expert----Huanan Polytech university Zhang Xiaoyu and New Zealand Professor Glyn and Irina to introduce mechanics – experience design methods and analytical data testing methods to further promote the new mechanics in order to increase the general industrial surface design and testing standards to eventually increase the quality of highway construction and extend the highway surface material lifeline.
With CONTROLS being our important client and a long existing partner of Earth Products China Ltd., the Guangdong Traffic Technology Company will collaborate with us in organizing this conference. Mr. Wu Chuanhai will attend the conference and introduce the newest technology used in Guangdong province throughout the recent years. At the end of the conference, we would like to kindly invite visitors to visit Guangdong Traffic Technology Company's highway materials experimental lab, to witness the full gearset of CONTROLS asphalt mixture testing equipments; CONTROLS company software specialist Mr. Steve will demonstrate the newest released software IMCAS2 control and data analysis system along with the new UTS Neutron software.

Irina Holleran
-
New Zealand Advanced Asphalt Technology Ltd. Manager
-
Qatar National Road Quality and Safety Department Senior Researcher
Irina Holleran is Senior Researcher at QSD-Anas in Qatar developing new systems and directing the R&D laboratory at PWA facility Najma Doha. She is also a Director at Advanced Asphalt Technologies Ltd, as well as a PhD candidate at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, the University of Auckland studying advanced sustainable open-graded porous asphalt mixes for NZ conditions. She has 17 years of international industry experience including work in New Zealand, Australia, Russia, USA, Malaysia and India. She is an author or co-author of many technical publications presented in New Zealand and internationally. A recipient of Fulton Hogan Managing Director innovation awards (twice), and “Fulton Hogan Planet award” for significant contribution towards the implementation of sustainable practices in road construction by incorporation of dense-graded millings from road surfacing mixes (at the end of life) back into new asphalt mix surfaces without compromising asphalt mix performance. Fulton Hogan Auckland region, where Irina was working on the incorporation of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in surfacing and base mixes, is now the biggest user of RAP in the country, which saves valuable NZ resources, such as aggregates and bituminous binder. She has significantly contributed to this success. She is taking this success to a new level studying the recycling of aged porous asphalt surfaces (around 95% of Auckland motorways are paved with this type of surfacing) into a high value new porous asphalt mixes as her PhD topic.
In March 2016, at IPENZ-Transportation Group conference, Irina won the award for Highly Commended Student Paper category for her paper “Porous asphalt – More Than Just Safety”. This paper highlighted the important role porous asphalt mix can play in achieving sustainability targets and a cleaner environment in New Zealand.
In February 2016, she was selected as a finalist for Hays National Association of Women in Construction Excellence Awards in “Outstanding Achievement in Design” award category. This selection was carried out by NAWIC (National Association of Women in Construction) to recognise the achievements of individuals who had significantly contributed to a construction project in design disciplines. Irina provided asphalt mix designs, technical support for asphalt mix manufacture and troubleshooting in the field for Tauranga East Link (TEL) project, one of the biggest construction projects in NZ.
Irina has worked on the assessment of bituminous materials performance for many years. She was one of the initiators and writers of Performance-Based binder specification NZTA M1-A: 2016 “Performance Specification for Asphalt Binders”. Irina presented this work with her current ATT colleague on behalf of the technical group (the key technical people from construction companies and NZTA). This specification is the first performance based specification in Australasia on bituminous binders.
