Climate-Resilient Design Standards, Guidelines, and Tools for Roads & Bridges Face-to-Face Training Course
Date: 13 - 15 May 2026
Venue: Bangkok, Thailand
Course Overview
Course Objectives
By the end of this three-day course, participants will be able to:
•Identify specific climate change risks and hazards (such as flooding, sea-level rise, and extreme heat) that impact road and bridge infrastructure.
• Apply climate-resilient engineering standards and guidelines to the planning and design phases of transport projects.
• Utilize climate risk assessment tools and data to inform decision-making and prioritize infrastructure investments.
• Evaluate cost-effective adaptation options and nature-based solutions for enhancing the durability of roads and bridges.
• Develop maintenance strategies that account for changing climatic conditions to extend the lifecycle of transport assets.

Course Methodologies
To ensure an engaging and practical learning experience, the course will employ the following methodologies:
•Interactive Lectures: Expert-led presentations focusing on technical standards and theoretical frameworks.
• Technical Case Studies: Analysis of real-world projects from the Department of Roads (DoR) and LGED to see how challenges were addressed in the field.
• Hands-on Exercises: Group work involving the use of climate screening tools and spreadsheets to calculate design adjustments.
• Peer-to-Peer Learning: Structured discussion sessions allowing participants from different departments (DoLI, Academia, Private Sector) to share localized challenges and solutions.
• Plenary Discussions and Q&A: Daily wrap-up sessions to clarify technical engineering queries and implementation hurdles.
• Digital Resource Kit: Participants will receive a comprehensive soft-copy library of design manuals, checklists, and assessment templates.
