This course is for Supervisors with existing NRSWA qualifications whose SWQA card has expired. New legislation came into effect on 6th April 2011 requiring all Street Works candidates to be reassessed before renewing their card.

COURSE SUMMARY:

BTC’s course includes training as it has become apparent candidates will find it hard to sit the Re-Assessment without some form of refresher training. As an example, we have devised the following example questions – if you can answer them without difficulty, we will be happy to accept you for an Assessment-Only course!

2. Where a type "1" flexible carriageway with a Class "B" material backfill, what would be the total cavity depth provision remaining for subsequent layer constructions (but not including HRA Binder Course materials) where the sub-base will be unbound materials?

3. How many compaction passes, using a 65kg vibrotamper, are required for a sub-base 200 mm layer of CBGM B?
