Course Overview

As infrastructure development accelerates globally, ensuring high-quality pavement construction is more critical than ever to achieve sustainable, long-lasting, and cost-effective transportation networks. The Quality Control for Pavement Construction and Sustainability training by Pideya Learning Academy is designed to equip engineers, quality professionals, and project stakeholders with in-depth knowledge and practical frameworks to ensure quality assurance and control throughout every phase of pavement construction—while embracing sustainability, regulatory compliance, and technical performance.
Globally, poor road quality remains a pressing challenge. According to the World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Report, over 40% of countries worldwide score below average in road infrastructure quality, with many suffering from premature pavement failures due to inadequate construction quality. Moreover, the International Road Federation (IRF) estimates that up to 30% of road project budgets are lost to premature deterioration, rework, or maintenance—directly attributed to ineffective quality control and poor material usage. With rising pressure to develop climate-resilient infrastructure and reduce lifecycle costs, organizations are now prioritizing robust QA/QC systems and sustainable pavement practices.
This Pideya Learning Academy course offers a strategic and technical deep dive into quality systems tailored for pavement construction, from granular material selection to compaction control, mix design evaluation, bituminous layer quality verification, and performance-based testing protocols. Participants will explore how to design and implement quality control plans, assess compliance with international and local construction codes, interpret field test results for informed decision-making, and enhance sustainability through eco-conscious construction methods and optimized use of resources.
A unique aspect of the training lies in its integration of sustainable construction practices into the QA/QC framework—highlighting environmental considerations such as material reuse, carbon footprint reduction, energy-efficient processes, and green rating systems. Attendees will develop an understanding of how modern QA/QC systems can balance quality, cost-efficiency, and environmental responsibility to deliver infrastructure that performs reliably over its intended lifespan.
The course also introduces quality metrics and performance indicators aligned with ISO 9001 and ASTM standards, empowering participants to monitor the effectiveness of their processes and identify improvement areas with confidence. Participants will gain clarity on how to handle quality deviations, perform audits, and document QA/QC procedures to ensure transparency, traceability, and accountability.
Through this engaging training, participants will:
Understand the full lifecycle of quality assurance and control in pavement construction projects
Learn to design and implement construction-specific Quality Plans and Material Test Protocols
Gain technical insight into inspection techniques, compliance audits, and root cause identification
Utilize quality indicators and testing benchmarks to drive continuous improvement
Strengthen communication across QA/QC, design, and construction teams for better project alignment
Align pavement construction practices with ISO, ASTM, AASHTO, and sustainability standards
Learn documentation strategies that support project traceability and long-term compliance
By the end of this Quality Control for Pavement Construction and Sustainability training, participants will be equipped with actionable knowledge to improve pavement quality outcomes, reduce rework, and contribute to the construction of sustainable road infrastructure. Whether involved in public road works or private sector construction, this training will provide participants with essential frameworks to lead quality initiatives and drive measurable project performance.
