for Senior Managers (Course
#13151)
NHI also has available three new courses that provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the geotechnical engineering involved in the development of surface transportation projects. In the future, these three courses will be incorporated as modules into the four-week course entitled Geotechnical and Foundation Engineering (Course #13216). For course descriptions, please refer to our online Course Catalog on the NHI web page. Subsurface Investigations
(Course #13231) - 3 days
The course Highway Safety Features (Course #38034) was rolled out only a couple of months ago, and already it has been booked by 10 different state transportation agencies! Officially titled "Design, Construction, and Maintenance of Highway Safety Appurtenances and Features," it is offered as a one-, two-, or three-day course, the length depending on the modules chosen. In this course, participants will learn the purpose and performance requirements of state-of-the-art highway safety features, such as breakaway sign supports, breakaway utility poles, traffic barriers, impact attenuators, and traversable terrain and hardware features. NHI is also accepting requests for its new course Developing Traffic Control Strategies (Course #13332). This course helps transportation professionals develop plans that improve traffic flow through construction zones. In addition, the course teaches how to redirect traffic so that construction projects can be completed more quickly. A new hydrology course, Practical Highway Hydrology (Course #13067), has been developed and is ready. This course's primary aim is to help designers effectively estimate the flows needed for use in a defensible design. NHI recognizes that roadway designers are continually required to size culverts, pavement inlets, detention basins, and bridges and, therefore, need to know how much flow for which to design and how often they can expect a given magnitude of flow. This course is based on the new FHWA Hydraulic Design Series Number 2 (HDS-2) entitled "Highway Hydrology." Better Access to Training
