1. Introduction
This report summarizes the training program on “Road Construction
Techniques and Quality Control” organized by [Organizer Name], conducted
from [Start Date] to [End Date] at [Venue/Online Platform]. The program was
aimed at enhancing practical knowledge and technical skills of civil engineering
personnel in the area of flexible and rigid pavement construction.
2. Objective of the Training
To understand the fundamental principles of road construction.
To familiarize with modern techniques and equipment used in highway
construction.
To enhance understanding of IRC specifications, MoRTH guidelines, and
quality control practices.
To promote awareness of sustainable road construction practices and use
of new materials like geosynthetics, modified bitumen, etc.
3. Training Methodology
The training was delivered through a combination of:
Classroom lectures / virtual presentations
Case studies and site videos
Practical demonstrations (for physical/onsite training)
Q&A sessions and group discussions
