Streetworks
We deliver the NRSWA (New Roads and Streetworks Act) operative units, qualifying highways and civils gangs from locating underground apparatus through excavation to reinstatement across bituminous and backfill materials.
Course List
Location and Avoidance of Underground Apparatus
Teaches operatives to locate buried services accurately using cable
avoidance tools (CAT & Genny) and plans before breaking ground.
Covers interpreting signals, safe digging practice and avoiding strikes on gas, electric, water and telecoms apparatus. The essential first step in any safe excavation.
Signing, Lighting and Guarding
Covers the correct setting out of signs, lighting and guarding to protect the workforce and the public around a street works site.
Delegates learn layout requirements, pedestrian and traffic management basics, and the standards set out in the Red Book. A foundation unit for compliant on street working.
Reinstatement and Compaction of Backfill Materials
Covers the correct placement and compaction of backfill once apparatus
work is complete.
Delegates learn layer depths, material selection and compaction methods to achieve a durable reinstatement. Reduces the risk of settlement and subsequent defect notices.
Reinstatement of Sub-base and Road Base in Non-Bituminous Materials
Focuses on correctly reinstating the sub-base and road base layers using
non-bituminous materials.
Covers material specification, layer construction and compaction to meet the SROH standard. Builds the structural foundation for a lasting reinstatement.
Reinstatement of Modular Surfaces and Concrete Footways
Qualifies operatives to reinstate modular surfaces such as block paving,
flags and setts, along with concrete footways.
Covers correct bedding, laying pattern, jointing and compaction to restore the surface to specification. Ensures a durable, compliant finish on footways and paved areas, reducing the risk of trips and defect notices.
