CONSTRUCTION & MAINTENANCE OF ELEVATED ROADS

DIXONTECH presents the Construction & Maintenance of Elevated Roads program designed for professionals managing complex highway and bridge structures. This course provides in-depth understanding of design principles, construction technologies, maintenance systems, and safety management for elevated and multi-level road projects. It aligns with AASHTO, Eurocode, and FIDIC standards and integrates modern construction materials, monitoring systems, and sustainability practices essential for the lifecycle of elevated roadways.

TRAINING TOPICS

• Design and Construction of Elevated Road Structures
• Structural Materials and Bridge Components
• Safety and Quality in Construction Operations
• Maintenance Planning and Inspection Techniques
• Rehabilitation, Strengthening, and Sustainability Practices

BY THE END OF THIS TRAINING COURSE, DELEGATES WILL BE ABLE TO:

• Manage and supervise elevated road construction projects
• Apply advanced structural design and material selection
• Plan effective inspection and maintenance programs
• Implement quality and safety control measures onsite
• Analyze deterioration, damage, and load capacity
• Conduct repair and rehabilitation using modern methods
• Ensure sustainable lifecycle management of elevated roads

TRAINING IS TAILORED TO

• Civil and structural engineers
• Highway and bridge project managers
• Site engineers and supervisors
• Quality assurance and inspection officers
• Maintenance and rehabilitation specialists
• Construction contractors and consultants
• Public infrastructure and transportation authorities

TRAINING METHODOLOGY

This course combines technical lectures, real project case studies, and simulation workshops. Participants will analyze structural designs, review field inspection data, and engage in problem-solving sessions focused on elevated road challenges such as crack detection, vibration control, and long-term performance optimization.
