This course will focus on the damages that may occur on flexible pavement, and will review the most appropriate techniques to prevent and treat each type of damage that may affect pavement on our roads, in favor of overall safety and cost reduction.
This course was developed by CAF’s specialists and international experts in flexible pavement and road infrastructure.
The maintenance of existing roads is just as important as the construction of new infrastructure, especially in a region like Latin America with its lagging road system. To this end, it is vital to learn about the most common problems on flexible pavement and to analyze possible causes and solutions, not only to perform adequate repairs, but to prevent these from reoccurring in the future.
The course will review the most appropriate techniques to prevent and treat each problem that may affect the pavement on our roads to make transportation of people and goods more efficient, safer and more comfortable, from a sustainable development perspective (economic, social and environmental sustainability).
