Spray Seal Construction and Failure Review

Reduce the risk of failures, maximise your value for money and minimise liability by constructing and designing a sprayed seal which will suit the traffic, pavement and environmental conditions using a rational, reliable, proven approach.


This course focuses on when and where sprayed treatments can be used by introducing participants to the strengths and weaknesses of the various types of sprayed treatments commonly used including the types of surface defects that may be corrected. It will also cover how to bitumen sprayer works and limitations and also covers a number of different failures and their causes

Bridge Inspection Level 1 & 2

In order to facilitate access on our transport network, we often construct structures to support the transport functionality. These assets may be bridges, major culverts, tunnels, retaining walls or large sign structures. These assets typically have a layer of complexity and longevity which requires additional expertise and process to ensure they are effectively managed. The capture of relevant data for management is typically performed via inspections.


The three day workshop, focusing primarily on bridges and major culverts, provides the participants to the opportunity to learn how to conduct inspections in accordance with best practice. The course will cover the processes associate with the two major inspection types, Level 1 and 2.

Roads Pavements Visual Condition Assessment and Asset Management | Townsville

A key task of the roads manager is to ensure the ongoing integrity of road pavement assets by undertaking appropriate condition assessments at regular intervals. These assessments are used to identify emerging or progressed defects that may affect the safety risk or asset integrity risk of road pavements across the network. Understanding what causes road pavement defects and how to diagnose them is a crucial skill set of the road asset manager to ensure the safe, appropriate, and optimised management of road pavements.


This one-day program is designed to provide the attendee with a solid grounding in the fundamentals of the causes of road pavement defects, how to assess them, and how to utilise the results. The course is built around the methodologies presented in IPWEA Road Practice Note 9 and its Addendums. It combines methodologies, practical examples and exercises for attendees.

Drainage for Road Design | Cairns

Drainage systems are an important and integral consideration in the planning and design of road infrastructure.


There are a variety of aspects that must be considered to provide an appropriate and economical drainage system on all road projects, irrespective of location, size, cost or complexity. 


This  two-day workshop on drainage based on the Austroads Guide to Road Design Parts 5, 5a & 5b. These guides will provide designers with information to appropriately manage stormwater run-off through the design of efficient and effective road drainage systems.

Asphalt Construction and Failure Review

Asphalt pavements are a pavement and surfacing alternative for the changing environments and increasing demands on the road pavement. These increasing demands requires all aspects of the asphalt construction to be addressed to ensure the expected design life is achieved.


There are a number of factors that impact the life of the asphalt, including the choice of treatment, quality of materials, operational aspects of construction, as well as traffic number, types of vehicle movements and vehicle types.


Acknowledging the importance of asphalt surfacing’s for the Australian road network, IPWEA-QNT in conjunction with a practical expert in the area of asphalt construction and failure review, is offering a one-day workshop to provide support for the practitioners and decision makers for the application of pavement construction and review of failed treatments.

Unsealed Roads – Network Asset Management Overview

What Our Clients Say

Dion Jones
Director Engineering Services
Goondiwindi Regional Council

Recently, Goondiwindi Regional Council received funding from the State Government’s TMR - Statewide Capability Development Fund to upskill staff in Native Title and Cultural Heritage compliance for infrastructure projects. Due to the additional costs of accommodation and potential loss of productivity in sending multiple staff to other locations for training we can only usually afford to send a very small handful of staff away at any one time.

 

IPWEA-QNT were able to provide this training course, combined with a neighbouring Council, over two days to share costs and upskill more staff in a shorter, more cost effective time frame. The convenience of holding the training less than two hours away meant that Council was able to upskill 15 staff members who only required travel to and from the course on the day that they were allocated to attend. The benefits of IPWEA-QNT tailoring this training course to suit our needs meant we were able to upskill more staff and the potential for loss of productivity was minimised.
