Gravel Road Construction: 4 PDH
$24.00 Add to cartIt is estimated that over a third of the 4.09 million miles of roadway in the United States are not paved. These are typically unpaved gravel or dirt roads, and they’re mostly located throughout rural areas and communities where the volume of traffic is so low that paving and maintaining a paved road is not economically feasible. In this course the student will understand basic concepts in designing and maintaining gravel surfaced roads and essential tips to ensure lasting performance.Instructor: Raymond Bosek, PESPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE OR SKILL OBTAINED
This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Explain gravel roadways routine maintenance and rehabilitation
- Discuss drainage and its importance
- Describe surface gravel types
- Discuss dust control and stabilization
- Recognize innovations and recent trends
- Explain construction guidelines and gradation determination
- Explain gravel road project quantity calculations
