Roadways Inspection and Maintenance

Overview:

Introduction:

Highways and roads are the essential means of transportation between towns, and they play a significant part in integrating economic activity into everyday life. The analysis and design of pavement are key components of this training program on inspection and maintenance of roads, with an emphasis on the creation of connotations in practical design scenarios.

Program Objectives:

At the end of this program the participants will be able to: 

  • Differentiate between the various pavement varieties.

  • Sorting the dirt into AASHTOO categories.

  • Create the warm asphaltic mixture.

  • Control the pavement maintenance and repair program.
