Course Outline :

• Day 1 – Is about Best Practice Operational Techniques and Condition Monitoring. On day 1 operators and supervisors
  • Learn how obtain At least 25% increases in performance over current techniques.
  • How do they obtain this you might ask?
  • We have worked with numerous operational staff and Councils over the last 10 years reviewing their techniques of grading and resheeting to ensure they get the best out of what they doing.
  • We have developed a unique grading audit performance criteria and use the well reconised page and green gravel material assessment charts for unsealed roads to assist with getting maximum performance.  Finally plant selection is another key area to review for success.
  • We have developed a very practical training day, showing numerous videos of techniques of what to do and not to do .

• Day 2 - Budgeting and Programming on Limited Budgets using Defined Service Levels.
  • Learn how to save $$$ thousands from servicing roads when required using proven practical management techniques that work.
  •  We have worked with 6 regional councils continuously over the last 10 years developing and refining proven methods to direct funds to road when required rather then by the reactive responses that lead to over servicing and over spending.
  • At the training course we will show you how we have achieved this using some very practical and proven techniques from;
  • Defining Service levels in a way that is easy to communicate to council and users.
  • Using a budgeting tool in excel that models the network service delivery to show direct outcomes of costs, resources and risks.
  • Programming works based on condition intervention levels to ensure all roads get the defined service levels and are not driven solely by complaints.
  • Communication strategies to make the whole approach work.
