New Web-based Trainings! TCCC Earthwork Series

 

The National Highway Institute (NHI) announces that the following new trainings are available.

 

132092 TCCC Earthwork Series: Excavation

 

 

Excavations of soil and rock are an integral part of highway construction due to the associated costs, safety concerns, engineering considerations, and short and long-term performance expectations. The Earthwork Series: Excavation course is an overview of the basic principles related to the requirements for proper excavation during a project. Excavation is the fourth part of the Earthwork five-part series.

 

 

This training consists of four modules, which cover the equipment used to excavate soils, and the procedures, requirements, and special considerations for mass excavation, permanent cut slopes, and temporary trench excavations. The course also covers some common problems and safety concerns associated with excavation.

 

 

132093 TCCC Earthwork Series: Fill Placement

 

 

Embankment construction; structural and utility bedding and backfilling; and the construction of drainage and filter systems are fundamental examples of highway earthwork — where the control of the material and how it is placed significantly influences engineering performance. The Earthwork Series: Fill Placement course is an overview of the basic applications where fill materials are to be used, and some common problems and safety considerations that you will need to know. Fill Placement is the fifth part of the Earthwork five-part series.

 

 

This training consists of four modules which cover culvert bedding and backfill, drainage filters and fabrics, embankment construction, key-ways, and benching. The course discusses material and placement requirements, methods used to control and assure placement, special construction considerations, common problems, and safety related issues.
