The course covers the construction of a road to the alignment, gradient and cross falls selected by the designer, which often involve a considerable amount of earthworks. The operations necessary for setting out and control of earthworks are described and elaborated on together with a brief outline of the elements involved in a geometric design.

The course also presents the operations involved in the loosening, removing, and depositing of earth, soil, and rock. It provides information on the construction of earthworks and the preparation of pavement foundations subsequent to the construction of a pavement structure.

Furthermore, roadside construction is also covered, including access for the construction and maintenance of the road, control of surface water drainage, the provision of underground drainage, the provision of safety barriers, and signs and lighting for the safe operation of the road. Worked examples and case studies are used throughout to facilitate practical learning
