� Morning –� Providing a short review of past and current Road
Construction methods and techniques, (including plans, profiles, cross sections & mass haul and a case study of reinforced road construction)
� Thorough understanding of the vital elements of a road
lead to a better understanding of the investigation process
� Afternoon – Visual presentation of road
construction, maintenance and deactivation.
� Review with a strong focus on minimizing site degradation and an in depth overview of environmental concerns and issues
� Learning to recognize the “red flags” that warn of potential problems with a view to prevention of detrimental occurrences rather than a reactionary one.

Day 2, Field trip
� Is a strong re-enforcement of the
classroom discussion on accepted
Road Engineering, Construction and
Maintenance practices and procedures,
with a strong emphasis on the practical
investigation of road related issues.
� Class field exercises; �Problem road layout and design.
�Stream crossing risk assessment exercise.
�Mock role playing of an investigation process.
A major focus of the field trip is water management,
soils stability, environmental impact reduction, controlling and managing costs.

Grading
13
� Use grader to crown, inslope, or outslope
road to manage surface water (and
sediment)
� Roads continually lose surfacing
materials to dust and rain, lowering the
road, and exposing sub-grade
� Improper grading continually widens the
road, impacting on wetlands and
watercourses

� Provide internal drainage (Gravel / Synthetics / Live pole drains)
� Cut off water source (surface / subsurface) (see PowerPoint “Contour Drainage for Slope Stabilization”

Drainage underneath gabion baskets. Eg. installation of a French Drain. Note: may need to also install a pipe to provide extra carrying capacity!
Drainage under road. Eg. installation of multiple culverts, Rock Drains or a Blanket Drain where there is a need to not concentrate water energy.
Typical slope treatment for stabilization using gabion
baskets to reduce apparent slope angle and using bioengineering techniques in conjunction to effect a
green solution that will provide for slope stability and
effective sediment control.

�Telltale signs to find the route of the water that may
have been associated with the event.
�Signs that materials may have been left at risk(eg
oversteepend cut or fill slope material, large berms)
�Possible human actions that may have a relationship
to the failure (before and after the event)
�Sub-standard construction practices or maintenance
practices that may have led to the failure
�Poor timing of operations Ie. wrong season
�Failure to secure the site in anticipation of expected
rainfall.

� Prior to start of work, place across stream in quietest possible water downstream from the worksite.
� HINT - If water is turbulent, angle the boom across stream and direct oil to a back-water.
� HINT - Allow for rise and fall of water flow.
� In the event of a spill, use pads to absorb oil.
