Detailed
Narrative Description of the Project: The capacity building of RDEC engineers is the most
important issue for RDEC. Therefore JICA and LGED jointly started the
strengthening the activities in RDEC Project based on the request of GoB in
November, 2007 for the four years period. In this project, four units
(GIS/Planning, Design, Quality Control, Maintenance) are identified as the
most important units for technical capacity building. The revision of Road
Structure Manuals is one of the activities of the Design Unit in this
project. However, the latest version of the Road Structure Manuals which was
revised in 1994 is needed to be improved due to technology progress of
design, revision of upper level plan and changing situation of climate. |
