Mr Michael Lazar and Mr John Emery have submitted a joint paper and will be presenting a paper, titled "Innovative Block Paving Developments Improve Safety & Performance of Pavements and Aid Storm Water Management".

The focus of ICPT is on the fast developing East Asian regions, with special emphasis on encouraging interaction of pavement professionals and researchers among Asian countries, and exchanging of experience and technology with other parts of the world.

Mr Michael Lazar and Mr John Emery have submitted a joint paper to Liverpool Centre for Materials Technology, LCMT, Pavement Engineering and Asphalt Technology, titled "Innovative Block Paving Developments Improve Safety & Performance of Pavements and Aid Storm Water Management".

School of the Built Environment at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) in association with Tarmac Ltd is hosting the 7th Annual International Conference addressing research and practical applications using sustainable construction materials and techniques in pavement engineering. The conference is a continuation of the successful annual events hosted by LJMU since 2002 that have attracted large numbers of authors, delegates and exhibitors from the UK, Europe, South America, Middle East and the Far East.

Mr Michael Lazar and Mr John Emery have submitted 2 papers titled "Reflective Pavers & Kerbs" and "The Innovative Paver System" respectively in 2006 International Conference on Concrete Block Paving, November 6-8, 2006, Fairmont Hotel, San Francisco, California USA. Mr Michael Lazar and Mr John Emery will present the paper in San Francisco.

The conference theme 'Sustainable Paving for the Future' speaks to the ability of segmental concrete pavements to address total envrionment design---ecological, energy, safety, and visual design needs for the 21st century. The conference will emphasize stormwater management with permeable interlocking pavements, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), and design for the disabled. This conference is for designers and specifiers of interlocking concrete pavements, permeable interlocking concrete pavements, grid pavements, and concrete paving slabs for residential, commercial, municipal, industrial, port and airport applications. As significant users of these segmental concrete pavements, we are pleased to have the Transportation & Development Institute (T& DI) of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) as co-sponsors.

Mr Michael Lazar was invited by The Institute of Landscape Architects of South Africa (ILASA) to present in 2 seminars. The Seminars entitled "Breaking the mould / exposing the future". The Seminars held both in Cape Town and Gauteng (Johannesburg) are focused on sustainability as an achievable goal through the practical application of principles - utilising innovative systems, techniques, materials and products in the implementation of development projects. (The events was sponsored primarily by The Concrete Manufacturers Association (CMA), False Bay Bricks and CONCOR Technicrete).
