Course Description:

Plan reading for road and bridge construction, storm water construction, and wastewater construction. In this class we will cover the basics of reading plans including: Legends, common symbols, notes, line types, grades, slopes, elevations, contours, layout, common details, and water quality call outs. The class will also cover basic design considerations, where to get clarification when questions arise, and answer questions the class has in an open discussion format. The course will also focus on common errors that occur when plans are misread or ignored. We look forward to an interactive and lively discussion!
