Employees Sessions

The Allan Block Best Practice Presentation is intended to communicate the best practices for the design of Segmental Retaining Walls (SRW) based on 25 plus years of research, design, and field experience.  As part of the presentation, 12 different design topics will be introduced that will range from initial design considerations to how the top of the wall will be finished.  Each topic is discussed by examining specific details and expanded information presented for each.

This 50-Minute presentation provides the participant with information on driver pre- and post-trip inspection requirements found in Part 393 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations as well as Periodic Inspection (annual) requirements and record keeping requirements found in Part 396 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.

All participants will receive a copy of the presentation, a Vehicle Inspection DVD and a copy of the Michigan Truck Drivers Guidebook.
