This introduces students to the engineering aspects of planning of forest road networks. Emphasis will be put to detail planning of location and design of forest roads.
Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to:· Classify of forest roads· apply basic engineering principles learnt in the design and construction of forest roads· Demonstrate choice of correct determining methods and procedures in choosing the road type and standard for a particular forested area.· design drainage that meet standards and mitigate for adverse environmental impacts· Cost the operations for forest road construction
