The Fundamentals of Building Roads
As part of Australia's big build, we are building more roads now than ever before. NTRO's pavement course focuses on modern pavement construction theory and practice.
About this course
The Fundamentals of Building Roads is a day-long, intermediate level, in-person course which fulfils Australia's unprecedented need for a broad-based understanding of pavements across all levels, from industry managers and planners to on-the-ground engineers. The Fundamentals of Building Roads will give you new insight and skills in pavement construction theory and practice, and valuable Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours, from NTRO's Master Trainers.
