Manual pavement labour-based technology for rural road works

This Manual comprises two parts; Part 1 one covers Rigid Pavements and Part 2 covers Flexible Bituminous pavements and has been prepared for the training and accreditation of small scale domestic contractors and their staff in the construction of specific types of rigid and flexible pavements suitable for rural road construction in Timor Leste through the use of Labour-Based Technology.

This Manual incorporates international best practices and draws on the extensive work of the ILO and the work of the UK Government Department for International Development (DFID) and the World Bank (WB) in Asia and Africa under their SEACAP and AFCAP research projects as well as contemporary practices in New Zealand.
