On March 23, The W.I. Clark Company held its 23rd annual paving and compaction seminar at its corporate headquarters in Wallingford, Conn.
Each year, The W.I. Clark Company's own paving specialists, along with manufacturer factory representatives, present an informative presentation covering a wide variety of paving and compaction topics. Nearly 200 paving contractors and members of local municipal paving crews were in attendance.
