Meganars are modular, 3.5 hour programs that take web-based concrete pavement training to new heights by going delivering practical, "real world" information that draws on a vast amount of ACPA members' experience, as well as the latest research, testing, and evaluation.
These comprehensive training courses
focus on designing, constructing, and rehabilitating quality concrete pavements.
