ARRB is pleased to offer a two-day training workshop on the latest practices in the management of unsealed roads including practical aspects during field testing and site inspections. The workshop will encourage group participation, including sharing experiences, field laboratory and site testing and inspection of various unsealed road sites. Attendance at the popular workshops will be invaluable to learn and share knowledge and experience with other participants.

PURPOSE

  • Asset management activities, identifying network pinch points, intervention levels for unsealed roads, when to seal?
  • Appropriate material selection, adapting local materials and pavement design for unsealed roads
  • Road design for improved road safety, better drainage, and reduced maintenance costs
  • Maintenance practice, including causes and cures, unsealed shoulder on sealed roads
  • Environmental considerations including dust, water (sedimentation & erosion), protection (flora & fauna).

Our next Unsealed Roads workshop will take place in Port Melbourne. Register now as there are limited places available.
