Paving contractors gathered Jan. 30 at James River Equipment’s branch in Charlotte to learn more about issues pertinent to the work they perform every day.

The guest speaker was James Scherocman, a registered civil engineer from Cincinnati, Ohio.

His experience in the field allowed him to speak fluently on issues facing the paving industry and the people who work in it. He spent two years with the Ohio Department of Transportation as assistant flexible pavements engineer, six years with the Asphalt Institute of the Ohio area, four years as executive director of the Asphalt Pavement Association of Indiana, four years as chief paving engineer for the Barber-Greene Company and three years as director of marketing for asphalt additives for the Carstab Division of Morton International.
