Municipal Pavement Design and Construction in Central Canada

Fee: $1,595 / Online / Feb 10 - 11, 2027 / Course Code: 17-0210-ONL27

OVERVIEW

Please note, This instructor-led course has specific dates and times:

This course is held online over 2 days on the following schedule (All times in Eastern Time Zone): 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Eastern (Will include the usual breaks) The course covers pavement design and rehabilitation concepts that are broadly applicable across Canadian jurisdictions. However, reference standards, specifications, and examples are drawn primarily from municipal practices in Ontario and Manitoba, making the course especially relevant for professionals working in Central Canada.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Assess the condition of existing municipal roadways and identify appropriate rehabilitation strategies
  • Select suitable pavement types and design approaches based on roadway context, constraints, and future needs
  • Apply current best practices to identify pavement distress and match them with effective treatments
  • Use recognized pavement design tools and standards to support sound engineering decisions
  • Interpret and apply municipal construction specifications during construction inspection and quality control

Description

Designing, rehabilitating, and reconstructing municipal roadways in urban and semi-urban environments requires balancing technical performance, constructability, cost, and long‑term serviceability, often within tight physical constraints imposed by utilities, curbs, drainage systems, and adjacent development. Making the right pavement decisions has a direct impact on lifecycle costs, public safety, and future maintenance requirements.

This course provides practical, decision‑focused guidance on pavement design, rehabilitation, and construction practices commonly used by municipalities in Central Canada. You will develop a structured understanding of how to assess existing pavements, select appropriate rehabilitation or reconstruction strategies, and apply recognized design methods for flexible, rigid, and composite pavement systems.

Through applied examples, design tools, and construction case considerations, the course strengthens your ability to translate pavement engineering principles into effective design decisions and reliable field inspection practices that align with current municipal standards and best practices.

Who This Course Is For

This course is designed for professionals involved in the planning, design, construction, or inspection of municipal roadways, including:

  • Pavement and municipal engineers
  • Civil technologists and technicians
  • Engineering consultants and design professionals
  • Construction inspectors
  • Contractor superintendents and field personnel

Special Features and Requirements
