Global Learning for Operational Leaders
Introduction
Course overview
Bridges are critical links in transport networks, and their construction and long-term care demand careful engineering, planning and management. New bridges must be built safely over rivers, roads and railways, often under traffic and with tight possession windows, while ageing bridges require inspection, assessment and maintenance to stay safe and in service.
This Bridge Construction and Maintenance Management training course covers the full life cycle of bridge assets. Participants learn about bridge types and structural behaviour, construction methods including precast, incremental launch and cantilever construction, temporary works and lifting operations, quality control, inspection regimes, condition assessment, deterioration mechanisms, repair and strengthening techniques and asset management planning.
The course is suitable for engineers and managers working for bridge owners, contractors and consultants.
