The NYSLTAP Center - Cornell Local Roads Program will be presenting engineering-level training this summer! See below for what we have to offer.

(NHI) Highway Slope Maintenance and Slide Restoration

15 PDHs

3-Day Course : August 2 - 4 Broome Co.

Registration Fee $225, PDH Fee $0

As focus changes toward the asset management of our existing infrastructure, the value of maintaining and managing our embankment and cut slopes becomes more apparent. This course provides the essentials to slope maintenance and slide restoration for transportation field personnel with an asset management perspective. This course is not meant to be highly technical, and explains, conceptually and in layman's terms, the conditions and factors affecting slope movement, stability and deterioration, and the cost considerations of maintenance, stabilization and of slope failures. The course also provides the fundamental aspects of slope management systems and discusses the rationale of slope management considering the legal implications of slope failures and rock fall.

This course provides an introduction into SSA as well as low-cost, ready-to-use improvements that enhance the safety of roads and highways. Various data sources to evaluate roadway safety are also discussed. A synthesis of SSA reference materials and videos will be identified and distributed (virtually). The course will present LCSI countermeasures (along with their relationship to SSA) and their associated crash reduction/modification factors (CRF/CMF) as identified on either the CMF Clearinghouse or other relevant publications. Information on using the CMF Clearinghouse and how to evaluate various CMFs are discussed. Countermeasures for specific areas including roadway segments and curves, roadsides, unsignalized intersections and signalized intersections are covered

We are also offering two virtual classes!
