Why Road Safety Audits? The toll from road crashes remains an important health and economic issue in South Africa. More than 14 000 people died in road crashes in 2016, with the long-term trend still showing no significant signs of improvement

The Preparation of Contract Documentation and Administration of Civil Engineering Contracts.
(3 days) Local & International.
Among the aspect to be covered are: Legal Framework of Contract, Alternative Forms of Contracts, Risk Management

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.

Traffic Accidents (3 days) Local & International
In recent years, the specific subject matter and knowledge of Traffic Accident Investigation, Reconstruction & Cause Analysis has become an increasingly specialised and important tool to the Judiciary, the Police Services, the Insurance industry, private companies and many related industry companies and services.

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.

1 day Local and International
This course starts with an introduction to stop, roundabout and traffic signal controls.
The design of intersection geometry and traffic control depends primarily on the traffic volume at the intersection. This in turn influences the delay, capacity, queue length and level of service that will result.
