Good morning ladies and
gentleman. My name is Colin Blair and
I am a researcher in the Transportation and Maintenance group of the Forest
Engineering Research Institute of Canada or FERIC which is a lot easier to say. I am based out of FERIC’s western division
in Vancouver, BC.

Today, I would like to
present some of our on-going work with Applying road-friendly technologies to
extend hauling operations on thawing thin pavement roads.

Before diving into my
presentation, I would like to thank several people for their invaluable
assistance with this project. I would
like to thank Allan Bradley of Saskatchewan Highways for his work with CTI
and helping to develop a field trial methodology. Dr Tom Christison and Dr Joe Mahoney for providing their
guidance and expertise with developing the field trial methodology. The field trial would not have been
possible without the support of the B.C. Ministry of Transportation, in
particular: Dick Weichel, Jim Mader, and John Hallam. I would also like to thank Eric Amlin,
Brian Bulley and Rob Jokai of FERIC for their assistance with the field
trial.
