ACTT Workshop, Tennessee: April 6-8, 2004, Knoxville, Tennessee

Accelerated Construction Technology Transfer (ACTT) is a strategic process that uses innovative techniques and technologies to reduce construction time on major highway projects while enhancing safety and improving quality. The process is implemented in a 2-day workshop. In April 2004, the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) hosted an ACTT workshop that brought together 83 transportation professionals. The main objective of the workshop was to draw on the expertise of the participants to help TDOT achieve its primary goal of minimizing construction time for its Interstate 40 (I-40) widening project through downtown Knoxville. The project also involves reconstruction of several associated interchanges. The primary project challenge is to minimize construction time while minimizing right-of-way requirements and adverse environmental and socioeconomic impacts to the community, which includes several historical districts adjacent to the highway. This report of the workshop is presented in five chapters covering (1) ACTT, (2) project details, (3) workshop details, (4) skill set groups and recommendations, and (5) next steps.
