The modules

In the modules, you will receive a thematic structure of the training content in the form of chapters. Each training course always starts with a theoretical part as an introduction and to impart basic knowledge. This is followed by the practical part, in which the asphalt construction experts, accompanied by moderator Chris Bollinger, explain the use of machines, the construction site process and many other topics step by step and with the necessary pinch of humour.

Chapter 1: Welcome and topic overview

Chris Bollinger opens the workshop and outlines the program. Experts provide practical insights into asphalt construction – from theory to on-site application. The event is interactive and hands-on.

Chapter 2: Basics of asphalt construction

Chris Bollinger introduces the first speaker: Sebastian Miesem. With passion and years of experience, he explains the fundamentals of asphalt construction—from history to standards. His enthusiasm shapes the start of the workshop.

Chapter 3: The mixing plant in detail

In his talk, Benjamin Jones explains the processes in the mixing plant—from production sequence to energy and temperature control. He also addresses quality assurance and the steps after the mix leaves the plant.

Chapter 4: Testing with the mobile test laboratory

In reference to the “kitchen analogy,” Bernhard Süß presents his mobile testing lab. He demonstrates how materials like bitumen or asphalt mix are tested under real conditions – offering insight into on-site quality control.

Chapter 5: Introduction to the construction machinery

Chris Bollinger hands over to the next speaker: Holger “Nopi” Nopirakowski. With humor and practical experience, he shares insights into working with large machines – hands-on and relatable.

Chapter 6: Practical tips

The session continues in a relaxed atmosphere. Chris Bollinger and Holger Nopirakowski reflect on the previous tour and share additional practical tips. Feedback from the audience is also included – keeping the workshop lively and interactive.

Chapter 7: Basics explained in practice

The practical part of the workshop begins. Chris Bollinger and Holger Nopirakowski guide participants through the basics of asphalt construction – from preparation to safe and clean execution. In addition to large machines, manual work and safety are key topics.

Chapter 8: Maintenance of the asphalt paver

Chris Bollinger and Holger Nopirakowski turn their attention to the asphalt paver – a key machine on the construction site. Before starting, they demonstrate safety and maintenance checks such as oil level control, emphasizing the importance of well-maintained equipment.

Chapter 9: Preparing the asphalt paver

Chris Bollinger and Holger Nopirakowski prepare the asphalt paver for use. Together, they install control units and the remote – step by step and with attention to proper handling. The tone remains relaxed and encouraging.

Chapter 10: Checking the asphalt paver

Chris Bollinger and Holger Nopirakowski start the asphalt paver and let it warm up. While the heating runs electrically, they take a short break. Afterwards, they begin with an initial check of the machine in operation – focusing on the electrical system.

Chapter 11: Operating the asphalt paver

The paver is in operation. Holger Nopirakowski and Chris Bollinger adjust the material flow and auger. The focus is on fine-tuning during paving – a hands-on insight into machine operation.

Chapter 12: Adjusting the pavement

After the initial machine work, it’s time for manual adjustments: Holger Nopirakowski and Chris Bollinger demonstrate how to shape the surface by hand – using a rake, a shovel, and a sense for the right height. Practical and with a touch of humor.

Chapter 13: Compaction with the roller

Before compaction begins, Holger Nopirakowski explains the roller in detail: types, functions, and key maintenance points – from grease fittings to oil level. A practical introduction to the machine.

Chapter 14: Cleaning the asphalt paver

To wrap up, it’s time to clean the paver. Chris Bollinger and Holger Nopirakowski demonstrate how to carefully dismantle and clean the machine after work – including safety tips for handling the cleaning mode.
