This course is intended and will provide practical guidelines for those involved in the pavement rehabilitation of surfaced roads. It is not intended as a manual on routine road maintenance but for larger rehabilitation projects requiring more sophisticated inputs and design considerations. Construction would also be on a larger scale, most often requiring the use of specialist contractors. Un-surfaced or gravel roads are not covered in these notes as they require special but more routine maintenance work than a surfaced road.

This accredited course is aimed at all that are actively involved in bridge management from client bodies to consulting engineer personal that have to do bridge or culvert inspections. The course will be based on the TMH19 (Draft) DER method for bridge and culvert inspections, which is used by national, provincial, and municipal authorities. The DER system of inspections is the compulsory inspection method used by all road authorities if they wish access Treasury funding for maintenance of road structures. The course is open to all but specifically aimed at those who have made bridges and culverts their area of expertise and who do work for the state.

and Maintenance of Roads & Asphalt Plants (1 day) Local & International.
The course aims to equip the participants with a broad overview of environmental management, but specifically as this applies to the asphalt sector and the construction of roads. The course covers the environmental laws that apply to asphalt and roads projects and illustrates how environmental management aspects are an essential component in projects related to asphalt and the construction of roads.

Construction & Maintenance. (2 days) Local & International

Unsealed (gravel & earth) roads comprise more than 75% of the proclaimed road network in South Africa. Over the past 30 years considerable research has been carried out regarding the design, construction, maintenance, management and upgrading of unsealed roads, which has been incorporated in the revised Draft TRH 20 document. The objective of this course is to systematically work through the information in this document, with examples and practical exercises.
