The Road Technology Seminar, held for the 5th time in a row, took place on April 11, 2023. The purpose of the seminar series is to introduce and inspire topics and opportunities at the crossroads of roads and technology. 

The seminar was held online and was attended by more than 150 listeners. The seminar was organized by AS Teede Tehnokeskus.

We announced the smoothest road sections built in 2022 at the Road Maintenance Forum held in Paide Music and Theater House in December. The road section on the Rakvere-Rannapungerja highway km 10-15, which was built by Verston, won first place! The road praises the maker! Last year’s smoothest road was also built by Verston. Maybe next year too?

The announcement of the smoothest road took place in the large hall of the Paide Music and Theater House due to a power outage, this time by candlelight, and the participants will surely remember it for a long time. Romet Raun presented the award on behalf of Teede Tehnokeskus, and Marek Aun accepted the recognition on behalf of Verston.

Internationally, the IRI number (International Roughness Index) is used to express the roughness of the road and its measurement unit is mm/m. In the Road Technology Center, measurement engineer Egon Horg (picture), who has been doing this work for more than 20 years, measures the roughness of roads.

An important milestone! AS Teede Tehnokeskus and its predecessor, Maanteeameti Tehnokeskus, have been organizing trainings since 1995 and have been the main organizers of additional trainings in the field of roads. We started registering certificates issued by us in 2000, and to date the number of issued certificates has exceeded 10,000. One can only imagine how much knowledge and learning this number contains. All this time, our recognized and energetic training manager Eva Äkke has organized the trainings.

Experienced road engineer Vello Voolaid received a training certificate with the magic number 10,000 for his participation in the advanced training for the construction supervision of road maintenance works (19.01-21.01.22).

Good cooperation partners and friends! We wish you happy holidays and a successful new year!
