Description

The Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) is the design standard for trunk roads in the UK and provides comprehensive guidance on the assessment, design and delivery of road schemes. It is also widely used for non trunk roads, small schemes, improvements and development proposals as it provides a rigorous approach to delivering effective highway design.

This is an intensive two day training course that provides the technical background, hands on experience and considered opinion necessary to enable you to produce effective engineering solutions on your infrastructure projects.

Day one outlines the structure, terminology and application of the DMRB, focussing on the assessment, design and geometry of highway schemes with particular reference to link and junction design.

Day two provides advice, guidance and opinion on pavement and drainage design, ancillary road features and safety audits.

The training course is highly interactive with workshop exercises throughout. Delegate participation is actively encouraged.
