Preceding this year's Highway Maintenance Conference will be the HMC Pre-conference Workshop. This workshop will be held on ​Tuesday, May 1st​ in Bellaire, Michigan. The HMC Pre-conference Workshop covers the key requirements of guardrail terminal installations and will focus on the installation of type 1 (SRT & FLEAT) and type 2 (SKT & ET) approach terminals. An in-class review will provide participants with an overview of common installation issues and a detailed look at MDOT’s standard plans. In a hands-on session, participants will then assemble one of the four approach terminal types. They will then assess their approach terminals to determine whether the terminals were installed per MDOT standard plan.
