Best Practices in Rigid-Pavement Design and Construction
To provide civil engineers, designers, and construction professionals with the knowledge and practical techniques necessary to apply internationally recognized best practices in the design, construction, and performance optimization of rigid (concrete) pavements for highways, industrial areas, and urban roads.
Rigid pavements, primarily composed of Portland cement concrete, offer long service life and high load-bearing capacity when designed and constructed correctly. This course covers best practices in the planning, design, material selection, construction methods, quality control, and maintenance of rigid pavements. It includes key technical considerations such as load transfer, joint detailing, subgrade preparation, and performance evaluation based on current industry standards and innovations.

Water leaks, air leakage, condensation and failed sealants are among the most common and costly defects in new buildings, and they are usually found only after handover. This programme gives engineers, inspectors and facility teams a practical method to inspect the building envelope, plan and witness field tests, interpret results and close out defects before they become claims.
Construction decisions are often made on technical reports that are hard to read, weakly evidenced or answer a different question from the one being asked. This programme gives engineers, project managers and client representatives a structured method to evaluate technical reports critically and to write reports that lead decision makers to a clear, defensible conclusion.
Many buildings and infrastructure assets start their operating life with missing records, systems that are hard to maintain and costs nobody planned for, because facilities management was not involved during design and construction. This programme shows how to bring FM thinking into projects early, manage handover properly and set up the asset for efficient, safe operation.
