COURS.

APERÇU

After participating in this course, you will be able to:

• Apply innovative techniques in road construction, including warm mix asphalt and pre-cast concrete slabs, to reduce project time and costs.
• Implement advanced quality assurance methods such as ground penetrating radar and infrared imaging to enhance infrastructure safety.
• Utilize accelerated bridge construction and high friction surfaces to minimize road work impact on users and extend infrastructure lifespan.
• Employ in-place recycling techniques and geosynthetic pavement reinforcement for effective pavement renewal and maintenance.
• Explore cutting-edge technologies like intelligent compaction, dynamic road paint, and solar energy roads to maximize life-cycle value and improve transportation infrastructure.

Description
Throughout history, transportation agencies have fostered and implemented new methods and means to innovatively and cost-effectively extend the service life of our transportation infrastructure while minimizing the impact of road work on road users.  By fostering collaboration between government agencies and industry, it is possible to develop new policies, processes and procedures to reduce time and cost and improve the safety of our transportation infrastructure. 

In this webinar, we will explore highlights of innovative roadway infrastructure delivery and construction techniques.  Participants will be introduced to innovations in road construction from around the world.

Who Should Attend
The target audience for this webinar includes transportation engineers, infrastructure planners, and project managers who are responsible for the maintenance and enhancement of transportation infrastructure.

Government officials and policymakers involved in transportation and public works will also find the content highly relevant. Additionally, professionals in the construction and civil engineering industries, including contractors and consultants specializing in road construction and maintenance, are key participants.

Researchers and academics focusing on transportation innovation and sustainability, as well as industry stakeholders interested in cutting-edge techniques and technologies for infrastructure improvement, will greatly benefit from the insights provided in this webinar.

Furthermore, quality assurance professionals, environmental engineers, and those involved in public safety and traffic management will gain valuable knowledge on innovative practices to enhance roadway infrastructure.
