OVERVIEW
Pavement construction and maintenance are integral to maintain a good system of roads which is the underlying backbone of our infrastructure. Contractors need to have the expertise to supervise and coordinate pavement construction and maintenance to ensure quality work. A number of supervisors in the industry may be unfamiliar with the relevant road construction technology and supervision methods to supervise the works properly and co-ordinate well to achieve the high standard expected by the clients and authorities. This course will enhance participant’s competencies in managing and supervising pavement construction and maintenance work. It opens up opportunities to become technical specialists for road construction, road management and road maintenance. Graduates can move to higher supervisory and management roles in this specialized area of road works. LTA had made it mandatory for all supervisors of road openings and road works to possess this Certificate issued by the Building and Construction Authority.
