5.5 Training contractors on low-volume roads, Mozambique
This report assesses private contractor training activities for improving the standard of unpaved low-volume roads. It uses the 'targeted interventions' (spot improvements) approach.
The report could be used to research and prepare approaches to training road contractors in areas including:
- Work specifications, contract documentation and drawings
- Materials specifications and testing
- Construction operations – gravel extraction and stockpiling, hauling and dumping gravel, and compaction
- Surfacing (surfacing types and specifications, and equipment requirements)
- Surveying basics – setting out and level control
- Equipment management and use
- Work programming and resource planning
- Progress monitoring and control
- Quality assurance
- Work measurement and claiming, and cash flow implications.
The report is particularly suitable for researching local training approaches. Data covers earthworks, pavement layers, drainage works, bitumen stabilised road bases and thin bituminous seals.
