Course Overview
Modern transportation infrastructure plays a critical role in economic development, regional integration, and social connectivity. This course explores the full lifecycle of road and highway infrastructure—from initial design and material selection to construction practices, and through to long-term maintenance and rehabilitation strategies. Emphasis is placed on current engineering standards, environmental considerations, safety requirements, and sustainable development practices.
Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of:
• Geometric and structural design principles,
• Pavement materials and design,
• Earthwork and drainage systems,
• Construction methodologies and equipment,
• Project management and quality assurance,
• Routine and periodic maintenance techniques,
• Innovations in road technology and asset management.
Objectives
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
• Understand the fundamentals and advanced techniques of road and highway design
• Identify suitable construction materials and techniques for various conditions
• Apply effective maintenance strategies to extend the service life of infrastructure
• Conduct quality assurance throughout construction phases
• Incorporate safety, environmental, and economic considerations in planning
• Evaluate performance indicators for roads and highways

IN HOUSE AND ONLINE TRAINING
While both In-House and Online training can present with cost-effectiveness and time-efficacy, there are some very specific differences between in-house courses and those based online.
The demand for additional courses by individuals or groups of people is increasing. Still, it depends entirely on the preferences of a person what type of training he or she wants to receive. Online courses and in-house training carry some similarities but they are considered to exhibit some very pivotal differences too. Despite that, both types of learning can be really beneficial for attendees.
