Transport & Highways

The Highway Drainage Training course focuses on introducing Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) to manage surface water run-off in urban environments. It aims to educate highway engineers on the principles and techniques of SUDS to minimize the impact of highway infrastructure development on water quality and quantity. The course covers topics such as sustainability, historical road drainage designs, hydrological criteria, climate change, construction, and legislation. Suitable for construction professionals, the 2-day course is led by Professor Robert Jackson, an expert in sustainable engineering technologies.

This one-day concrete training course is designed for Foremen and Site Supervisory Personnel. The course covers a range of topics including concrete properties, materials, testing techniques, and management on-site. Participants will engage in practical laboratory exercises and learn about early-age cracking, sampling, and testing procedures. The course aims to equip attendees with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively manage concrete projects. The training is conducted by experienced tutor Tony Binns MCIPD (Chartered) MICT.

The Roads Training course aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of road pavement distress and premature surface course failure. It is designed for individuals involved in highway repair and maintenance or new construction, regardless of prior experience. The course covers topics such as pavement deterioration, asphalt basics, surface course selection, and practical exercises. Delegates receive course notes and e-mail support for two years post-course. The training concludes with hands-on exercises to address maintenance issues effectively.

The Design and Construction Management Training course aims to familiarize delegates with the management processes necessary for preparing designs for construction projects. The course covers traditional design approaches, good practices in managing design-construction interfaces, and the latest innovations in Integrated Collaborative Design. Sessions include discussions on design sequences, procurement chains, communication, and control. The course duration is one day, with options for onsite closed company courses in various locations.

The Highway Drainage Systems Training course aims to raise awareness of effective design and maintenance of surface water systems, emphasizing pollution control and storm outflow containment. Participants gain knowledge of road drainage design, construction approaches, and environmental guidance. The course covers topics such as drainage systems, Environment Agency requirements, climate change impact, and drainage design software. It is suitable for graduates, technicians, and experienced staff involved in road design and construction, offering practical instruction and updates on drainage technology.
